Civic Identity Development through Deeper Civic Learning: The Democratic Knowledge Project’s “Civic Engagement in Our Democracy”

This session will provide educators and administrators with an experiential orientation to an approach to civic learning and a set of resources aligned with the Educating for American Democracy Roadmap and the MA History/Social Studies framework. During this session, participants will engage in and reflect on a hands-on activity from the Democratic Knowledge Project (DKP) curricular resources.  They will learn about the DKP, its pedagogical approach to Deeper Civic Learning, and how the DKP resources have been experienced by Massachusetts educators and students over the past four years.
