Educating about Elections in a Partisan Age
Kiesa, Abby; Bueso, Leah; Hodgin, Erica; Kahne, Joe
Social Education, v86 n4 p232-238 Sep 2022
This article shares lessons from committed and inspirational educators from across the country with whom the Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (CIRCLE) worked in 2020. Their experiences reinforce that nonpartisan teaching about democracy is possible (i.e., not teaching who to vote for, but rather how the system of voting operates in the United States). Education about voting and elections builds generations of lifelong voters, and this is imperative to a country that values the full and thoughtful participation of its people.
