Additional Information about the Working Group for Civic Learning

The Working Group for Civic Learning was formed in Spring 2014 by the Board and Department of Elementary and Secondary Education.  The working group's purpose is to:


  • Investigating further the current status of civic education and engagement, including review of the Report of the Massachusetts Commission on Civic Learning and Engagement 2012, Guardian of Democracy report and College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework for Social Studies State Standards;

  • Identifying promising practices and existing resources used in schools and districts to maximize opportunities for students’ civic education and engagement, including opportunities for elevating civic education and engagement within existing curricular and program initiatives; and

  • Identifying opportunities for collaboration with public higher education to develop a civic education and engagement “pathway” from K-16.
