Our team at the Center for Revitalizing American Institutions carried out an extensive ecosystem scan, conducted a series of interviews and focus groups, and surveyed over 7,600 educators and students to develop an understanding of the American civic education landscape. This report summarizes three broad trends and 12 observations to foster engagement among the attentive public and educators and to encourage further dialogue and contributions that strengthen the civics ecosystem.
Key Takeaways
- Among three broad trends in education, there has been a generational marginalization of civic education.
- Civic education is foundational to our republic and democracy and transcends ideological boundaries.
- Renewed resources are emerging, but challenges of coherence and scaling persist.
