President Introduces History & Civic Education Initiatives
Third early next year we will convene a White House forum on American history civics and service. We will discuss new policies to improve the teaching of history and civics in elementary and secondary schools and in our colleges and universities. We will hear from educators and scholars about ways to better monitor students' understanding of American history and civics and how to make more of our great national treasures how to make them more accessible and more relevant to the lives of our students. |

- The Declaration Foundation's Mission
- The mission of the Declaration Foundation is to assess the existing state of American civics education, both in schools and in the citizenry at large, to foster what is good, and to supply what is deficient. Above all else, we aim to restore the principles of the Declaration of Independence to their rightful place in the minds and hearts of our fellow Americans.
- To publish a high school-level curriculum on the Declaration
- To conduct a "citizens review" of the existing state of civics textbooks
Do you or someone from Declaration Foundation plan to participate in the White House forum on American history civics & service?
