School and District Resources

At TFDA, we believe schools have the unique opportunity to influence students and prepare young individuals for a life of civic action and engaged citizenship. Our goal is that every school and district has the resources it needs to adequately provide civic education to students around the country.

Action Civics Curricula

Consider purchasing one or more of Mikva's five action civics curricula for your school. These lessons are aligned with CCSS and C3 standards and directly address Social and Emotional Learning standards and equity in the classroom.
TFDA is coordinated by CIRCLE, a part of the Tisch College of Civic Life at Tufts University.
