Universities are increasingly reexamining their role as incubators of effective citizenship. An essential yet often overlooked part of this work is strengthening K–12 civic education. This webinar explores how efforts within higher education can support civic learning in K–12 schools, with particular emphasis on the academy’s role in training the next generation of educators.

The Alliance for Civics in the Academy hosts "How Can Universities Strengthen Civic Education in K–12 Schools?" with Jennifer McNabb, Joshua Dunn, and Jenna Storey on March 4, 2026, from 9:00-10:00 a.m. PT.

The Civics in the Academy webinar series features in-depth discussions on the practice, pedagogy, and state of civics in higher education. Drawing on the diverse expertise and perspectives within the Alliance network, each session features topics and panelists sourced directly from our membership. The series aims to foster dialogue, share practical knowledge and best practices, and contribute to a shared, pluralistic framework in the evolving field of civics in the academy.
