In memoriam

March 26, 1930 - December 1, 2023 It is with a heavy heart that we honor the life and achievements of our founder: the great Justice Sandra Day O’Connor.

It is a rare and privileged thing to represent, each day, an organization like iCivics — one that embodies the core values of our founding trailblazer. Anyone who has ever interacted with Justice O’Connor knows the singular force of nature she was. Her passions forged the change she wished to see in the world.

She was determined to “crack” civics: to reimagine how we teach a “boring” class in new and exciting ways, and to ignite the passion of young people to become involved in our constitutional democracy. Her determination to get the product right, and her devotion toward finding common ground, animate iCivics’ work to this day.

Advancing Justice O’Connor’s Vision In order to realize Justice O’Connor’s vision, the iCivics Board launched the iCivics Growth Capital Campaign to fund key strategic investments, as well as ensure a sound financial foundation with which to sustain our reach and impact for generations to come. The O’Connor family has asked that donations in her honor be made to iCivics.

Yes, she was a “first” in almost every position she ever held in her long career. But let this not be what you remember most of this extraordinary woman. For Justice O’Connor was fiercely committed to excellence in everything she touched. She firmly believed in compromise, collaboration and selflessness for the sake of country. iCivics is, in Sandra Day O’Connor’s own words, her legacy. We are proud beyond words to do it justice.

Civic Learning as a Unifying Force | 1

Dear Friends of iCivics, When my kids were young, I cared most that they learn to be kind to others, work through problems collaboratively, and manage conflict peacefully (please!). I believe most parents share these goals.

What we prioritize for our kids, we also want for our society. Reaching out to those we disagree with is an exercise of civic friendship. It is the way forward, and it is what selfgovernment requires of us.

Justice O’Connor said it best: democracy skills are not inherited, but need to be learned: These skills include finding common ground, compromising, and seeing the good in others—even when you vehemently disagree.

It is, in so many ways, a bedrock of our nation. E pluribus unum: from many, one.

Research yet again shows the deep level of agreement across the political spectrum on the importance of teaching our nation’s shared history and investing in K—12 civic education. And this is iCivics’ commitment: to re-imagine how civic education is taught and learned; to nurture young people’s sense of trust and civic friendship.

The collective impact achieved by iCivics’ formidable team in 2023 never ceases to amaze me: • •

•

Investing as the Premier Provider: iCivics’ innovative product line now spans elementary through high school…with information literacy soon to come.

Evolving for Impact: We are developing and piloting holistic professional learning options, as well as a full-year curriculum steeped in inquiry instruction and localized to districts that integrates education in civics and U.S. History.

Catalyzing a Movement: Through CivXNow, iCivics continues to mobilize a large, dynamic coalition for better policy and funding around civic education—with demonstrable success federally and in states across the nation.

Ours is the work of generations. iCivics is the only organization delivering such results to the civic education field. My vastly different encounters this year—with teachers and field practitioners, civil service leaders, and funders—have renewed my sense of possibility that we may find our way forward together in civic friendship.

Thank you for committing to our precious cause.

Louise Dubé Chief Executive Officer

Let’s be honest about the current state of civics The results are in: only 22 percent of 8th graders who took the 2022 National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) in Civics scored at or above the proficient level.

These scores are the predictable result of policies that have sidelined, undermined, and defunded civic education for decades. We know how

to turn this around. The data is clear.

Civic education has a positive impact on young people both within and outside of the classroom. Not only do students score better on NAEP, but they’re also more likely to vote and discuss politics, and have more confidence in their ability to both speak publicly and interact with elected officials.

We need action. Without it, we collectively fail our students—our very future. The NAEP results confirm what iCivics has asserted since the beginning: ALL STATES must immediately fund high-quality civic education, including stronger course requirements, accountability mechanisms, and better training for educators.

And Still… A Historic Increase in Funding Congressional lawmakers have begun to listen. In its 2023 omnibus appropriations bill, Congress tripled funding for K—12 civic education to $23,000,000! This funding benefits the

4 | iCivics Annual Report 2023

“Civics and History Education, National Activities” program. The entire field— universities, research centers, and nonprofits like ours—has already begun reaping the benefits… which means our students reap the benefits.

This is a start, but still not enough. When we look at STEM, the federal government spends just over $50 per student, per year… but only 50 cents on civics—1,000 times less.

Federal investment sends an important signal to states, where CivXNow is already working to urge meaningful policy and funding. In 2023, 17 bills advancing civic education were approved in 14 states.

These bills will begin to bear their fruit in the years to come.

The events and conversations of Civic Learning Week tackled all kinds of matters: • Information literacy in the modern world…

Leaning in, fervent nodding, twinkles of a smile... a community of civic education supporters gathered at the National Archives in March for the first national Civic Learning Week. Attendees were eager to discuss the successes— and path forward—for civic learning in the United States.

What is Civic Learning Week?

It is a week-long celebration of civic

events and conversations, meant to spur a wide audience. Civic Learning Week gathered change-makers: educators, parents and students; policy experts, governors and judges; ambassadors and advocates — all to stress the impact a great civic education can bring, inside and out of the classroom.

“

• The future of civic education in America…

• Civic learning as a matter of national security…

• Gaming for democracy…

• An open forum between Justice Sonia Sotomayor and young students…

“

Dr. Steve Masyada, Director, Lou Frey Institute and the Florida Joint Center for Citizenship This one week marks the rejuvenation of our movement. Now, it is time to put our ideas into action. Civic education must become a nationwide priority. This is how to unite a pluralistic, thoughtful, and engaged society… and safeguard our constitutional democracy.

It’s about interaction, dialogue... looking someone in the eye... That’s what civics really is, it’s the involvement...

Civics starts with civility.”

Our Year I

2023

Get a Taste of This: The New People’s Pie! After a flood of inquiries from teachers asking when their favorite game on the federal budget would be back, iCivics had no choice but to deliver it on a hot plate.

In October 2022, iCivics re-released People’s Pie. The game tackles a complicated subject—balancing the federal budget with tact and good taste. The new and improved People’s Pie game gives students a chance to set the federal budget, all while diving into concepts of mandatory spending, tax rates, and spending deficits.

The game is earmarked for grade 4—12. In it, players must: • Set taxes and the retirement age over three years; • Weigh the pros and cons of funding (or cutting) policy programs; • Achieve a balanced (or surplus) budget, and avoid causing a deficit; and • Manage public approval around prior funding commitments.

“

Importantly, the game is fully adapted for multilingual learners.

People’s Pie — El Pastel del Plueblo (en español) — has built-in supports, including: Englishlanguage voice-over, embedded glossaries, gameplay scaffolds, and the option to play in English or Spanish.

In Review PRIVATE i: History Detectives iCivics has launched in the elementary grades with Private i, a unique curriculum that lays the foundation of civic learning for a younger audience.

The Constitution EXPLAINED! When the U.S. Constitution was signed in 1787, it laid out the very nature of our Republic—its structures, political protections, and philosophy. Now, 236 years later, ours remains the Longestliving constitution in the world (with a few new Amendments added since).

But how do we ensure our children grasp just how fateful this document has been in shaping the world we live in?

This year, in collaboration with the Center for Civic Education, iCivics released The Constitution EXPLAINED video series.

These are 35 animated videos—just 2-4 minutes each—that dig deep into every article and amendment. The videos are straightforward to use in any classroom; they are easily digestible for students of all ages and offer context, nuance and relevance on what the Constitution has achieved.

179,000

Civics, as a topic, is often overlooked in K-5; it is thought too difficult to teach.

And yet, these concepts — citizenship, migration, community, and civic duties — can, and should, be taught early on.

Private i fills a significant gap in resources for this age-range.

Private i taps into young learners’ natural curiosity. It uses inquiry and primary sources (videos, images, simple texts) to draw young students in to answer a “big question.” Private i puts students at the center of discovery: • Promoting civic discourse and critical thinking; • Motivating young learners with engaging, hands-on activities; and • Supporting literacy development.

Tell me about the civic education you got…

I was fortunate to get one of the best civic educations possible, when it comes to the iCivics Youth Fellowship and my 8th grade “We The People” class. But there were 200 other students in my grade level who never took the class… they can simply opt out of it. I feel very prepared to vote; to urge others to vote; to rally. I know my Constitutional rights. But I don’t feel like a lot of my peers understand much about what is going on in government, how they are affected by it and how they can affect it in return.

You interviewed your peers about their own civic education?

I interviewed two types of students — those like myself who got the same classes I did… and those who hadn’t. The first group gave me long, elaborate answers; there was open communication between the students.

But when I interviewed kids who did not get this form of education, they gave me 1- or 2-word answers; they didn’t talk to each other either. The students who didn’t get these opportunities had no idea what I was talking about. I don’t think they even knew what the word “civics” was. I found it severely alarming how little they knew or cared about it. This exercise really put into perspective how even one single class could alter a person completely.

8 | Annual Report 2023

When you think about what our nation could be, what words come to mind?

Open… open. The word just springs to mind. Open to differences of opinion… not always having to be right. If only we were more open to listening to each other, and not always yelling.

What would you like our funders to know?

With iCivics, they’re not just funding a program or a website. They’re actively funding the next generation of this country.

What iCivics does is amazing; it helps young people find the answers to questions they’re too afraid to ask. If “the next generation will fix it,” then we need tools, knowledge and support systems. We need the space to mess up a few times before figuring it out.

Supporting programs that provide just this — a space to try, and mess up, and repeat, and succeed — it fosters a true interest in our country. They’re funding an entire generation that can finally find its voice, and that will want to create a better world for all.

Voices from the field

Amanda Donley Fishers, Indiana | 10th grade

When you think about our nation today, what words come to mind?

A hot mess [laughter]. We are seeing Republicans punished for compromising with Democrats. And yet that’s the very foundation of the U.S. Constitution… It’s crazy to think there was a time when two members of opposing political parties could “agree to disagree” — or God forbid, come together on certain issues. This doesn’t feel like serving the community.

As someone who is so civically engaged, there are times I have no idea what is happening… It feels antithetical to what they teach us in civics class.

to observe: I trust his judgement. But this was me asking for that. It’s pre-emptive.

I had the level of awareness that to do the best I could, I needed the faith of my administration. You build this over time.

Shari Conditt Woodland, WA | High school social studies teacher of 24 years What is your job really about?

It’s about knowing your community. In order to teach civics, you must know who your kids are, their families, their needs.

You have to navigate tough times, know when it’s appropriate to push, and also to let students take the reins. You have to deeply, deeply invest in where you are.

There’s a public perception that civics classrooms are places of much heated debate… What has your experience been like?

I don’t see a lot of heated debates in my classroom. In fact, I see a lot of honoring of each other. Right off the bat, we create classroom norms on how we engage with each other. And they’re built by the students — there’s more buy-in this way. Largely, I lead my class from a place of inquiry — not by declaring “I’m the expert.” I want to guide my students, help them identify media sources that will get them to grasp how various groups might think about certain issues.

Do you get appropriate support from your school administration?

I have complete administrative support.

We build a reputation as teachers, and our administrators see that. I’ve asked my principal to come into my classroom

What do most people not understand about your job?

A lot of folks probably don’t know just how much effort civics teachers put into preparation, outside of teaching, grading papers or writing a curriculum [laughter].

The amount of time I spend paying attention to the news — building content knowledge about current domestic and foreign politics — is just fascinating. And I’m practicing the same inquiry and media literacy skills that we’re teaching our kids, right? I have to prepare for handling crises that happen without warning: we were watching, as a class, the live electoral vote count in Congress on January 6 — and an insurrection happened… How do you deal with that as a teacher when it’s happening live on TV and you’re with your kids? That’s a very special skill-set…

I also doubt most people see how nuanced and thoughtful I must be with my word choices. I will frequently pause to think about how to express an idea without betraying my own perspective. On days when we touch on abortion or the Second Amendment or the death penalty, it becomes a minefield of language — it’s mental gymnastics that I’m not sure other professions have to do.

What would you like our funders to know?

Please continue to have faith in educators and the work of iCivics. Students enjoy — and find value — in the curriculum. They have their eyes opened. The materials are phenomenal. And the team that puts the materials together are hard-working.

A Better Way To Teach Civics and History What is Educating for American Democracy?

Piloting EAD

Democracy (EAD) is an ambition: a content-

History I course: it explores the story of

First and foremost, Educating for American driven framework that prepares students on how to care for, and sustain, our

constitutional democracy. This framework

allows content providers, such as iCivics, to develop a gold-standard curriculum, offer high-quality professional learning, and implement in real districts.

The EAD curriculum:

• Holistically integrates civics and U.S. History education—a rare feat;

• Uses an inquiry approach—students

learn by asking questions and finding their own answers; and

• Is designed to be tailored to the unique needs of school districts and their community’s local context.

iCivics has spent considerable resources developing an initial full-year U.S.

the people who lived on the land now

known as the United States, between the years 1580 and 1877. This curriculum

interrupts the narrative that there is one linear, singular history of our nation.

Instead, it explores America’s plural yet shared story.

This course — iCivics’ approach to EAD — is being piloted in Jefferson County (CO), Oklahoma City (OK) and Santa Fe (NM)

public school districts. Teachers there are supported, year-round, with professional learning on how to implement the

rigorous curriculum; and district leaders get guidance on how to best support their teachers.
