This policy report from the Learning Policy Institute describes the approaches states are taking to build engaging and enriching civic education programs for students. Some states focus on recognizing civics achievement at the school level by conferring seals that acknowledge a school’s expertise in cultivating civic learning or funding school initiatives that support a commitment to civic learning. Others cultivate teachers’ civic learning and instructional capacity through guidance documents, professional development, and funding for learning activities, including collaboration with civic and community-based organizations and paid planning time. Two states allow local education agencies to develop locally determined assessments of students’ civics knowledge or else require that students take the U.S. citizenship test. Other states require schools to provide one student-led civics project in either middle or high school. Washington state requires one classroom-based performance assessment in civics at the elementary, middle, and high school levels.
