What is the Civic Literacy Curriculum?
The Civic Literacy Curriculum is a free resource for teaching and learning American civics that provides students with a deep knowledge of U.S. history and American civics. It contains over 100 free lessons, including the historical background, annotated primary texts, discussion prompts, and other tools to make it easy for teachers and students. Unlike most currently available civics programs that focus on action civics or civic engagement, the CLC focuses on civic knowledge, how the Constitution’s structure operates, and the founders' ideals underlying our system of government. The CLC is currently available solely in a format designed for an advanced high school level, but it has users in 39 U.S. states and territories.
"Without basic civic education, we cannot expect to preserve or improve our system of government"
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor
