We Can Teach Hard Things
Teaching foundational civics and history topics is more challenging than ever; Let iCivics and fellow educators support you! Join us for our regular webinars, each featuring a panel of educators sharing research-backed strategies for navigating challenging classroom topics amidst the growing political divide.
Through Inquiry
Use iCivics’ two full-year curricula to teach the nation’s history. 8th-grade students explore the foundational years in United States History: Beginnings to 1877, while high school students examine the complexities of the modern era in United States History: 1877 to Today.
