Welcome to Our Campaign!

The Campaign to Promote Civic Education effort is a fifty state campaign (including the District of Columbia) aimed at restoring the civic mission of our nation’s schools by encouraging states and school districts to devote sustained and systematic attention to civic education from kindergarten through twelfth grade. This monthly newsletter is part of a new initiative to provide a forum for information exchange in the civic education community and is administered by the Center for Civic Education (Center). The Center's Campaign to Promote Civic Education is affiliated with the Civic Mission of the Schools Campaign (CMS); we share the common goal of improving civic education policy and practice.

The Center for Civic Education's Campaign to Promote Civic Education has contributed to concrete policy improvements in civics and government. Each month, we hope to showcase the outstanding work of our state facilitators as they seek to restore the civic mission of our schools. If you would like to showcase a specific effort or activity in your state, please contact Liza (prendergast@civiced.org) or Justin (rydstrom@civiced.org).
