Spotlight On: Civics, Service, and Leadership (iCSL) Program

iCSL aims to prepare students exploring careers in the military and public service with high-quality civic learning experiences. Read a new blog about our first professional development program in Miami.

Serving Up a New Version of Fan Favorite, People’s Pie

We’re thrilled to announce a new and improved version of People's Pie with Spanish translation and EL/ML supports will be available later this fall!

NEW Foreign Policy Game

Now is perhaps the most important time for students to build an understanding of our interconnected world. To support learning about U.S. foreign policy, we’ve released Convene the Council, a new game developed in partnership with the Council on Foreign Relations.

Develop English Language Arts Skills with iCivics

We believe civics makes the perfect partner for English Language Arts lessons, and we have standards-aligned resources to prove it! We've compiled our best activities, lesson plans, and games for developing your students' non-fiction reading and writing skills.
