STATE CAMPAIGNS
The Campaign to Promote Civic Education effort is a fifty-state campaign (including the District of Columbia) aimed at restoring the civic mission of our nation’s schools by encouraging states and school districts to devote sustained and systematic attention to civic education from kindergarten through twelfth grade. The campaigns share the common goal of improving civic education policy and practice. For more information about this national policy effort, please contact Liza Prendergast and Justin Rydstrom in the Center’s Washington, D.C., office at 202-861-8800 or campaign@civiced.org. You can also find campaign resources, events, and partners at this site.
The Center is currently working on a report titled Civic Literacy in the 21st Century: Advocacy in Civic Education to be released in 2010. The goal of the report will be two-fold: (1) to highlight best practices in state-level civic education advocacy and (2) to draw attention to exemplary practices in civic education. The Campaign report will focus upon four separate pillars essential to restoring the civic mission of schools through sustained and systematic attention to civic education from kindergarten through twelfth grade:
curricluar requirements, standards, teacher preparation and professional development, and assessment. If you would like to share information on civic literacy in your state, please complete our brief survey online here.
