Citizenship First

The public purpose of education is citizenship first.

Thanks to Joy Cardin and @WPR for having me on this morning to talk civic education. http://t.co/unuRd7xuQU #civiced

The first relationship a child has with a civic institution is with their school. As it goes, so goes citizenship. http://t.co/jMxeKYU6CI

Thoughts on schools as civic institutions. http://t.co/TaNIkQ0sEb @EdweekComm

Should teachers "sell" kids on civic participation the way some of us sell college attendance?

I'm a curriculum guy, but even I would argue school tone and culture is the most important thing to get right. http://t.co/5KIROrwlge

Pop Quiz! Which leading ed thinker called for common core curriculum in her last book? Surprise answer here: http://t.co/IS6Bg78agv #edchat

[Citizenship First @Citizenship1st]

Decision to have a common body of knowledge already been made by poets, statesmen, scientists, artists & immigrants. http://t.co/tYzLO8Lrmt

@DebMeier asks if we really need common curriculum to promote thinking. Yes. And progressives should embrace it. http://t.co/QbsUhSQ1LP

A Progressive Case for Core Curriculum. Civic virtues are platitudes without history to make them meaningful. http://t.co/6HESpEv0UH #edchat

My challenge to @DebMeier: How can we legally demand one class of citizens know things but not another? http://t.co/RoV7M6vznh #civiced

[Citizenship First @Citizenship1st]

A common curriculum is key to social justice. Why is @DebMeier making a libertarian argument against it? http://t.co/OE0CmF6Tf1 #civiced

Should Hunger Games be taught in school? Yes. It's the best civics book since Orwell's 'Animal Farm.' http://t.co/rL9SQh4vGA

[Citizenship First @Citizenship1st]

Hunger Games as civics class. What the series can teach kids about tyranny and liberty. http://t.co/ByyGDCre1y #edchat #civiced

If schooling for democracy is our lowest bar, educating for liberty must be our highest aspiration. http://t.co/5BlSoLsEOv #edchat #civiced

[Citizenship First @Citizenship1st]

How can we say we value educating for social justice without placing common curriculum atop our To Do list? http://t.co/mNm3gQsKeX #edchat

[Citizenship First @Citizenship1st]

The tough, essential, and unavoidable question is what, if anything, we expect all children to learn. http://t.co/iauZn7n7wO #edchat

[Citizenship First @Citizenship1st]

How can we claim to value educating for social justice without a common curriculum? @DebMeier @edweekcomm http://t.co/nPfCxZfETQ #edchat
