Civic Education for Civic Life
Supporting the civic development of young people by connection to relevant content knowledge and engagement skills through new civic education resources is the focus of "Civic Education for Civic Life." By learning about the United States and Minnesota Constitutions, principles of democracy, structures of government, rights, politics, elections, and citizenship, students will be prepared to carry on Minnesota's enviable civic tradition of being a national leader in informed civic participation.
