Clare Brock and Wouter Van Erve (political science) surveyed 226 Texas teachers on the state of civics education in public schools. The survey also contained questions about the teachers’ own civics knowledge and engagement.
Their findings were published in 3Streams blog post, “Texas’ lack of attention to civics education presents a cautionary tale for national education policy and politics.” It also was shared with iCivics, the largest provider of non-partisan and free civic educational material in the country.
Funding for the survey was provided by TWU’s Jane Nelson Institute for Women’s Leadership.
