| Delaware Summit on Civics Education | Delaware Summit on Civics Education | Clayton Hall (Room 101A) 100 David Hollowell Drive Newark, DE 19716 | | <p>Civics education has been marginalized in recent years at a time when America is becoming dangerously polarized. Moreover, only 23% of students scored at or above proficiency on the latest NAEP assessment of civics, a national report card that also revealed a disturbing achievement gap.</p><p>The purpose of the summit is to explore ways to improve the quality and quantity of K-12 civic education with an eye toward enacting a high-quality action plan for the First State. Those attending will help inform that action plan.</p><p>Dr. Peter Levine is one of the nation’s most respected voices in civics education having served as Deputy Director of the National Commission on Civic Renewal. Peter is leading a national survey on civics education that he will share at the summit.</p><p>Educators, elected officials, policymakers, and others interested in improving the quality of civics education in Delaware are invited.</p><p>This event is free, but registration is required. </p><p><strong><a href="/ipa/Event%20Docs/civics-summit-flyer-2019.pdf" target="_blank">View the event flyer</a></strong> | <a href="https://civics-summit.eventbrite.com/"><strong>Register now </strong></a></p> | float;#0 | civics-summit | 2/7/2019 1:00:00 PM | 2/7/2019 5:30:00 PM | False | |
