The Civics Education Initiative is a project of the Joe Foss Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to shaping "young Americans for civic engagement as voters and informed members of their community." The three-year initiative, which launched in September 2015 and concludes in September 2017, has three goals: (1) To ensure students graduate with the tools they need to become informed and engaged citizens; (2) To put civic education back in classrooms across the country; and (3) To serve as the first step in expanding civic awareness and learning for students. Through the Civics Education Initiative, the Joe Foss Institute advocates for state adoption of a requirement that students must pass a civics test as a condition of high school graduation. Specifically, the Joe Foss Institute encourages states to require a civics test with questions drawn from the 100 basic federal historical and civic facts included in the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) naturalization civics test, which immigrants must pass to become legal U.S. citizens. The initiative is premised upon the assumption that "if it is tested, it is taught." This final report on the Civics Education Initiative provides an update on state adoption of the initiative and looks at how states customized the initiative for their own purposes. In the final section of this report, opportunities are identified for policymakers to build on civic education policy efforts, such as the Civics Education Initiative, to further strengthen civic learning and effective participation in civic life.
