Panel Discussion this vision that all education had civic purposes and that every teacher was a civics teacher. Evidence of the centrality of that vision to our school system is the fact that 40 of our 50 state constitutions underline the importance of civic literacy; 13 state constitutions identify the central purpose of their educational system as promoting good citizenship, democracy, and free government. 1 The origin of the U.S. public school system in the search for civic literacy and virtue contrasts with the diverse missions our school systems identify as central today. Those missions include preparing students to be good economic units in an industrial production process; making students “happy” and “well-rounded;” preparing them to compete with other nations in science and math to ensure our technological and military superiority; and many others. Instead of occupying a central role in schools, civic education is relegated to the fringes of the educational curriculum, if it is included at all. On May 16, 2007, the latest National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) Civics Report Card was issued. In the words of the Center for Civic Education’s Executive Director, Charles N. Quigley, the NAEP study. …is a confirmation of the neglect that many professionals in the field of civic education have known about for many years: that the vast majority of our young people are either not taught civics and government at all, or they are taught too little, too late, and inadequately. The results confirm the fact that the past several decades of educational policy and practice have focused more and more on developing the worker at the expense of the citizen. These findings are grounds for concern, and they call for a national response to remedy a serious deficiency in the education of American citizens. 2 1 The Civic Mission of the Schools, Carnegie Corporation of New York and CIRCLE, The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Education, 2003. 2 Charles N.

80 KPI Congress XI Those of us who are advocates for the centrality of civic education in schools believe that there is a relationship between the drift of civic education to the periphery of our schools’ curriculum and the declining health of our democracy. Unfortunately, there are many signs of ill health in our democratic society. Increasing numbers of Americans are disengaged from civic and political institutions such as voluntary associations, religious congregations, community-based organizations, and political and electoral activities such as voting and being informed about public issues. Young people embody these trends and are less likely to vote and less interested in political discussion and public issues than either their older counterparts or young people of past decades. As an advocate for civic education I believe that citizenship must be learned and can be taught. For me and for the Center for Civic Education the restoration of a vibrant democratic society in the United States must focus on the school-based education of young people in the skills, knowledge, and attitudes that prepare them to be competent and responsible citizens. That is a task in which we have been engaged in the United States for some 40 years. What we have learned during that time is that the defects of traditional civic education, which allowed it to be so easily driven from prominence in the school curriculum, must be corrected if we are to restore civic education to its rightful place. A new model of civic education must place the student at the center of the learning process. It must use good curriculum materials that encourage critical thinking, teamwork, and interaction with classmates, teachers, parents, and the community. Teachers must receive high quality training in the use of materials and in how to collaborate with students in their own education. Descriptions of Project Citizen and Foundations of Democracy Project Citizen, one of the Center’s signature curriculum materials, reflects this improved model of civic education. It is used in more than 70 countries and is the Center’s most widely adapted and implemented
