The document discusses research on effective approaches to civic education. It summarizes findings from three reports on civic education. The Civic Mission of Schools report outlines goals for preparing students to be informed, participatory, and socially responsible citizens. The Paths to 21st Century Competencies report discusses skills like media literacy, collaboration, and work ethic. The Civics, Not Government report calls for civic education to emphasize meaning over memorization and inspire ownership. It also recommends starting civic education early and integrating it across subjects.

Bridging the gap between public officials and the public slides with video ...Matt Leighninger
How can legislators and other leaders help create more productive, healthy civil discourse? A new slideshow from the DDC summarizes recent research on legislators’ attitudes, and compares those findings with evaluations of deliberative projects. In these new materials, we ask whether public deliberation projects can create the kind of communication legislators say they want with their constituents. Finally, we provide a set of recommendations for public officials, funders, and the field of public engagement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Editor's Notes
In 2002, the Carnegie Corporation of NY and CIRCLE (The Center on Information and Research on Civic Learning & Engagement) gathered a distinguished group of the nation's most respected educational scholars, educators, and civic and governmental leaders in Washington, D.C. to discuss the fact that increasing numbers of Americans are disengaging from civic and political activity. These educators shared a common vision of a richer, more comprehensive approach to civic education in the United States. The Carnegie Corporation’s The Civic Mission of Schools (CMS) report is a powerful statement of that vision.
Sound familiar? The CMS goals of civic education represent an opportunity to revive the original goal(s) of public education. Citizens who . . . Are informed and thoughtful and have a knowledge of history and how American democracy works. Participate in their communities and work with others to address cultural, social, and political issues. Act politically by having the skills, knowledge and commitment to accomplish public purposes – know how to navigate the system. Are socially responsible, tolerant, and believe in their capacity to make a difference.
2009 Debate the contribution of civic-related education to a range of outcomes beyond political knowledge volunteering voting. Process identified outcomes of interest: media literacy, economic as well as civic knowledge, sense of social responsibility, experience in cooperating with diverse groups, and global awareness. The 1983 report A Nation at Risk - “Our nation is at risk. Our once unchallenged preeminence in commerce, industry, science, and technological innovation is being overtaken by competitors throughout the world”. The report lamented the education system’s failures in preparing the next generation of workers with the competencies and values necessary to retain a competitive position for the United States. In the early 1990s, the Department of Labor spearheaded an initiative resulting in A SCANS Report for America 2000. SCANS (Secretary’s Commission on Achieving Necessary Skills) proposed a three-part conceptualization of skills thought to be important in the next (now, current) century.
The term “21 st Century Skills” was initially proposed by the Partnership for 21 st Century Skills in 2006 and has been addressed by several groups using definitions that differ in some respects from each other. However, there is a common core that includes (see slide). www.21stcenturyskills.org
An examination of outcomes that had been tested in the 1999 International Association for Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) Civic Education Study (CIVED) on a nationally representative sample of approximately 2,800 ninth-graders in the United States showed that this data set had rigorously developed measures of many of the outcomes included in the enumerations of 21 st Century skills and competencies. The only competencies not included in the CIVED test or survey were math skills, ICT literacy, and creativity/innovation. In addition to measures of the competencies, the IEA CIVED data also included measures pertaining to the type of education these ninth-graders had received, especially focused on the classrooms where civic-related education took place (including classes in civics, history, and social studies). In particular, the IEA CIVED instrument had included a reliable scale measuring student perceptions of a focus on lectures or factual material in their classes and memorization of facts and dates (“traditional teaching”). A separate scale had included measuring perceptions of a focus on respectful discussion of issues, including controversial issues, in class (“open class climate for discussion”).
The Annette Strauss Institute for Civic Participation – Report published in 2010 Emphasis on political knowledge has replaced practical education on how to address civic problems and learning civic skills (e.g. how to vote). Has failed to create a more knowledgeable generation of citizens. Young Americans are less likely to be engaged in their communities, participate in electoral politics, to read local or national newspapers, to voice faith in our democratic system, or to express healthy levels of political efficacy.

So…. Compiled relevant data by educators, scholars, and existing school standards which currently determine what high school graduates need to know. Recruited a new group of stakeholder consisted of workplace managers, college professors, city and municipal employees, and recent high-school graduates. These new stakeholders interact with recent high school graduates and have a working understanding of skill sets young people must have to be effective citizens. Presented this data to the new stakeholders who had not previously involved in the conversation. These stakeholders were asked to: Respond to current practices. Identify gaps in these practices. What these stakeholders found was: Unreflective - Lacking personal ethics, political tolerance, and conflict negotiation skills. Individualistic - Concerned primarily about themselves and not identifying or connecting with their communities. Detached - Distanced not only from their communities but also from the larger political and democratic processes. Unprepared - Missing the basis prerequisites to be good citizens in the workplace, the college classroom, and their communities.
