Sign Up for a Must-See Webinar on Trends in Civic Education

Dec 11, 2025 12:00 PM in Central Time (US and Canada)

Do you want to better understand the history and purpose of civics education and what the movement for ‘patriotic education’ could mean for civics ed programs today? Are you running a civics education program, or perhaps thinking to start one, and looking to connect and learn from national civics ed leaders on ways to strengthen or scale it?

Civics Ed and Patriot Education: Implications for Our Schools The first call in this two-part series explores what is happening in civics education in the U.S. today. We’ll revisit the purpose and role of civics education in the U.S. historically and then we will lift the hood on key developments at the federal level, including the America 250 Civics Education Coalition and efforts by the administration to advance ‘patriotic education’. We’ll elevate ways to push for civics education that advances democratic action, critical thinking, and cultural competency and against one-sided approaches to teaching civics and related efforts to undermine state and local control of curricula.
