Civics education

A growing number of Americans can name the branches of government and First Amendment freedoms, according to the Annenberg Constitution Day Civics Survey.

The Civics Renewal Network (CRN), a consortium dedicated to strengthening civic life in the United States, has added three civics and history education organizations to the network.

Annenberg Classroom’s documentary about the First Amendment right to freedom of assembly has been honored with a 2021 Platinum Hermes Creative Award in Electronic Media.

Street Law, Inc. has received the 2021 Leonore Annenberg Institute for Civics Award to develop a curriculum for middle and high school students on the rule of law in the United States.

APPC's Leonore Annenberg Institute for Civics and The Annenberg Foundation Trust at Sunnylands remember Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's contributions to civic education.

The 2020 Annenberg Constitution Day Civics Survey finds Americans knowing more of their First Amendment rights and the three branches of government.

Annenberg Classroom has released a new film about the First Amendment right of the American people “to peaceably assemble,” the latest in its series of award-winning documentaries about the U.S. Constitution.

Election security and nuclear threat escalation were also among the challenges for CERL summer interns in the program for students interested in careers in national security.

With the election approaching, iCivics and the Annenberg Public Policy Center have rereleased three free, nonpartisan educational civics games to teach students about the federal government, the courts, and law-making.
