California Campaign for the Civic Mission of Schools
In 2001, the Carnegie Foundation of New York and the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) convened a distinguished group of educators, researchers, and scholars to study the problem of civic education in America and make recommendations for its improvement.
In their report, The Civic Mission of Schools, the panel identified four goals of civic education and recommended six promising approaches to improve it.
California Campaign for the Civic Mission of Schools is an effort to apply the goals and recommendations outlined in The Civic Mission of Schools to strengthen civic education in California's public schools.
The Center for Civic Education joins Constitutional Rights Foundation in this effort. California Campus Compact is actively involved with the Campaign. If you have questions, please contact Elaine Ikeda at elaine@cacampuscompact.org.
