American civic education is facing challenging times. Recent national assessments indicate a decline in student learning in civics and U.S. history, with disheartening statistics highlighting the lack of civic knowledge among adults.
 
And yet, there’s great hope for progress. Innovative projects are emerging across the field of K-12 education to refocus our nation's classrooms on America's founding principles and history. 
 
Join the Jack Miller Center during Civic Learning Week for an engaging discussion of the challenges in civic education today and promising solutions, featuring talented educators and leaders in the field: Danielle Allen, Robert Burton, and Lianne Cottrell, moderated by Thomas Kelly.
