Creating Effective Citizens NCSS Task Force on Revitalizing Citizenship Education
National Council for the Social Studies believes that a primary goal of public education is to prepare students to be engaged and effective citizens.
Students should have opportunities to apply their civic knowledge, skills, and values as they work to solve real problems in their school, the community, our nation, and the world.
For our democracy to survive in this challenging environment, we must educate our students to understand, respect, and uphold the values enshrined in our founding documents.
They should also be prepared to challenge injustice and to promote the common good.
