Revitalizing K12 Civic Learning in CA
This document provides a blueprint for revitalizing K-12 civic learning in California schools. It establishes that schools have a civic mission to prepare students for participation in democracy, but that civic learning has been neglected in recent decades. The document recommends system-wide changes to improve civic learning, such as revising history-social science standards, integrating civic assessments, improving teacher training, developing a sequenced civic curriculum, and providing incentives for districts to fund civic learning. The goal is to ensure all California students receive high-quality civic education to realize the state's civic promise.
