- Synopsis
- "By nearly every measure, Americans are less engaged in their communities and political activity than generations past.&” So write the editors of this volume, who survey the current practices and history of citizenship education in the United States. They argue that the current period of &“creative destruction&”—when schools are closing and opening in response to reform mandates—is an ideal time to take an in-depth look at how successful strategies and programs promote civic education and good citizenship.Making Civics Count offers research-based insights into what diverse students and teachers know and do as civic actors, and proposes a blueprint for civic education for a new generation that is both practical and visionary.
