I'm in the middle of my 17th year teaching Social Studies to 8th graders. I've been in it long enough that I started teaching US History, it changed to Middle Ages and now has returned to US. I couldn't be happier for my students at this point in their lives to be learning about their own country's historical start and now asking them to become active members in it. Greatest challenge is they have little to no prior knowledge. So the state wants us to discuss documents when they have no prior connection. I end up backing up, and moving forward at a snail's pace. Great resource I use as an anchor is iCivics.
Share a bit about yourself. Where and what do you teach? What is your interest in Civics Education and Civic Engagement? What is your greatest challenge?
In your comment, include a resource that supports Civics and Civic Engagement.

As you step up your personal civic engagement, what lessons, inspirations, or cautions inform your teaching? Have you had experiences that it would be meaningful and appropriate to share with students? How can you invite and support them to share their own experiences? How will you figure out appropriate levels of emphasis on duty and encouragement?
How might you carry forward the discipline of regular writing to support your teaching?
To support student writing? To deepen or extend reflection on your own practice? To cultivate emotional/spiritual/political support for your professional labor?
