[YEP-DC] Give Your Feedback for the Dept. of Education's Civic Learning and Engagement Initiative

Great opportunity to offer your feedback to the Department of Education.

 

Dear International Education Community:

 

Please find information that is being forwarded below from the Department's Office of Communications and Outreach:

 

*********************************************************************************************************************************************

 

Dear ED Grantee,

 

At a White House event this past January, the Obama Administration released its Road Map for civic learning, "Advancing Civic Learning and Engagement in Democracy."  The Road Map outlines nine steps ED is undertaking to increase civic learning and engagement across our country.

 

The Civic Learning and Engagement Initiative is requesting feedback from you on how ED should implement 4 of the 9 steps and define "civic learning and engagement". We encourage educators, practitioners, students, researchers, and any other interested parties to submit thoughtful opinions, ideas, suggestions and comments. Please submit all comments by November 30th to civiclearning@ed.gov or post them on directly on the blog.

 

We envision a nationwide commitment to preparing all students for citizenship as informed, engaged and responsible members of our society. 

 

We hope you can assist us in strengthening our programs and policies to meet this commitment.

 

Sincerely,

 

Office of Communications and Outreach

U.S. Department of Education
