Announcing a Free Self-Directed Course on the Fundamental Values and Principles of American Constitutional Democracy
The Center for Civic Education is pleased to announce Learn.civiced.org, a new website for anyone interested in learning more about American constitutional government! The site offers a free online course, discussion forums, and highly recommended links to teaching and learning resources.
Here are some of Learn.civiced.org's features:
● We the People Open Course: A free course that follows the content of the Center’s We the People: the Citizen & the Constitution text. The course is entirely self-paced, so you can complete it on your own schedule. It is divided into six units, each of which features a noted scholar explaining topics related to the Constitution. The course takes participants from the philosophical foundations of the U.S. Constitution through the modern interpretation and application of its ideals. You can take the entire course, or just select the sections that interest you. It is indexed with key concepts important for all citizens to know in understanding the American political system.
● Civics Forum: Discuss civics and government and share resources with other interested people throughout the country.
● Resources: Access ebooks, lesson plans, free materials, and other great websites for teaching and learning about civics and government.
We will continue to add courses, resources, and more to the site in the months ahead. Learn.civiced.org was made possible by the U.S. Department of Education through a Supporting Effective Educator Development grant.

Case method teaching has been the core pedagogy at Harvard Business School (HBS) for decades, favored by students and teachers alike. Building on this record of success, HBS Professor David Moss in 2013 introduced a case method course called History of American Democracy, developed mainly for undergraduates. The course quickly became one of the highest-rated classes at Harvard College. Students described the teaching method as highly engaging and credited it with helping them to learn and retain course material more effectively. Many also reported that taking the course had inspired them to become more civically engaged. As one Harvard student put it, “If this class didn’t make every student in it a better citizen, I don’t know what class would.”
As excitement about the course and the case method began to spread, Professor Moss was approached by high school teachers looking to try the cases with their students. This led a handful of high schools to experiment with Moss’s cases in the 2014-15 school year.
