One of the objectives of the Civitas International Programs is to introduce educators to exemplary curricular materials developed in the United States and other nations and to provide professional development in those materials. Professional development programs utilize learner-centered methodologies. The Civitas International Programs have organized numerous workshops and seminars for teachers, school administrators, curriculum developers, civic education program directors, government officials, and other educational leaders. Professional development opportunities have included delegation exchanges, Project Citizen and Foundations of Democracy training workshops, and the National Academy for Civics and Government.
About
The Center for Civic Education is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating an informed and thoughtful citizenry committed to democratic principles and actively engaged in the practice of democracy. We do this primarily through our flagship programs, We the People and Project Citizen, but we also provide high-quality, inquiry-driven curricular programs that bring civic learning to life. The Center additionally equips educators with professional learning that builds confidence and capacity to teach civics with depth and relevance, unlocks students’ civic agency by creating opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and share their voices through simulated hearings and other public forums. These initiatives build a national community committed to strengthening civic understanding and participation for all and root everything in decades of research and evidence. Learn more.
