Public schools play a crucial role in promoting civic learning and engagement. This report presents some valuable data on how teachers are approaching civics.

Really appreciated the great conversation at this meeting. Thank you, Amit Sevak, for your leadership on this important issue, and thanks to Institute for Citizens & Scholars and Graduate School of Education and Human Development for partnering with ETS. Looking forward to continued collaboration to promote civic learning for all.

Fabulous opportunity for grad students who want to experience life at a policy research org. I started my career in policy research as a @RANDcorporation summer associate, and I can't think of a better introduction to the field. Check it out!

Agree, results are concerning and point to a need to clarify what "civic education" means & who is responsible for teaching it. (also, great example of the value of RAND's American Educator Panels for highlighting teachers' perspectives @mkdiliberti Julia Kaufman)

Thanks for the shout-out, FutureEd! I've been off Twitter for a bit but wanted to take a moment to thank my new American Institutes for Research colleagues for their warm welcome. I'm looking forward to some great collaborations. I'll continue to follow the work of the excellent ETS Research team

"Academic learning is inherently social and emotional, and integrating all those aspects can effectively promote whole-child development." But, the panel we convened CASEL Urban Assembly Peabody College Curry College noted this is rarely happening w intention/coordination.
