Civics 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.

To celebrate the 100th anniversary in August 2020 of the 19th Amendment, APPC is featuring the Annenberg Classroom video “The 19th Amendment: A Woman’s Right to Vote.”

The Rendell Center for Civics and Civic Engagement has started a podcast series in which Judge Marjorie O. Rendell discusses cases and issues with other judges.

In honor of Juneteenth, Annenberg Classroom is highlighting educational resources, including a video on the Supreme Court case of Thaddeus Edmonson.

iCivics and APPC have rereleased two free online games, Branches of Power and Court Quest, designed to help educators and parents teach students about the federal government.

In its sixth annual Citizenship Challenge, the Rendell Center asked fourth and fifth graders which Amendment in the Bill of Rights was most important and impactful.

Federal judges and court staff from Maine to Guam met in New York to discuss civics education initiatives at the first national conference devoted to the subject.
