Democracy isn’t self-sustaining. It’s learned.

More photos from #CivicLearningWeek — including the session on Educating for American Democracy & a pre-event reception at the historic Eastern State Penitentiary.

As we head toward #America250, civic learning is the work.

Everyone has an opinion about civic education.

Very few conversations start with evidence.

Beginning Friday, educators will gather for the Ntl. Symposium on Civic Education Research to discuss what the data shows about civic learning.

Center for Civic Education | Kindful

The greatest barrier facing some of our most civic-minded students isn’t knowledge. It’s the cost of showing up.

A $9,000 matching gift will double every donation through 03/02—helping students attend We the People National Finals.

Democracy doesn’t collapse all at once. It erodes each time repression is tolerated because it seems easier.

W.E.B. Du Bois warned us what’s at stake.

This #BlackHistoryMonth, the Center for Civic Education & @iCivics honor his legacy through #QuotingDemocracy. #America250
