This is a recording of a live program from February 23, 2021. This program focused on civics education in St. Paul Public Schools and included a discussion of the following topics:

• What does a civics education look 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?

We were joined by a panel of educators for an informative and multi-faceted discussion.  Panel participants include:

Rebecca Biel, Social Studies Supervisor K-12, Office of Teaching and Learning

Eric Erickson, Social Studies Teacher, Como Park High School
