Abstract: 

This book provides a comprehensive K-12 model for civic education. CIVITAS sets forth in detail the civic knowledge, skills, dispositions, and commitments necessary for effective citizenship.

Developed over three years with contributions from more than 40 scholars across the country as well as guidance from dozens of educators and teachers, CIVITAS outlines a program of civic competence and responsibility among young people and encourages their participation in the political and civic life of their communities and the nation.

The major topics covered are civic virtue, civic participation, and civic knowledge and skills.

CIVITAS is designed for: curriculum specialists at all levels, teachers, school boards, public and private schools, teacher educators, local education agencies, and social studies and history textbook authors.
