Civics in Our Schools: What's Going On?

• What does a civics education looks like in St. Paul Public Schools?
• How do current events, state education standards, and legislation affect classrooms?
• How can, and does, civics education help develop future voters?
• How will the current revision process for civics education at the state level (part of the Minnesota K-12 Academic Standards for Social Studies) impact the curriculum?

The discussion will be held with a panel of educators, experts and students, including:

• Rebecca Biel, Social Studies Supervisor K-12, Office of Teaching and Learning
• Eric Erickson, Social Studies Teacher, Como Park High School
• Jaeden Sims, St. Paul Public School Student
