Welcome to our back-to-school resource showcase, where our CivxNow partners have come together under the guidance of the Center for Civic Education to offer a special collection of educational tools and programs. This collaborative effort celebrates the beginning of the school year and emphasizes the importance of civic learning.

This summary synthesizes research in the field of civic education focused on access to civic learning opportunities in K-12 schools and the kinds of outcomes that result when young people have these experiences such as an increase in civic knowledge, skills, dispositions, and behaviors.

The attached chart provides a few high-level examples in each of these areas, along with potential effects as a result of expanding general AI technology.
