The field of civic education is frequently marginalized and underfunded, but that neglect has spawned an opportunity to think creatively and expansively about what inclusive K–12 civic education really could be. In this episode, we explore new ways to help students develop civic identity, and to think civically, with a view to increasing future engagement in many kinds of communities and leadership settings.
