Encouraging the development of civic skills and attitudes among young people has been an important goal of education and was the primary impetus for originally establishing schools.
 
 

Written and endorsed by more than 50 scholars and education practitioners, The Civic Mission of Schools report summarizes the status of and need for civic learning in schools, kindergarten through 12th grade.  It analyzes trends in American political and civic engagement; identifies promising approaches to educating students for democracy; and offers recommendations to educators, policymakers, government officials and funders.
