- How is civic education being taught and assessed in Montgomery County Public Schools grades K-12? What effect does the Blueprint on Education have on civic education teaching?
- How is one community organization, The Civic Circle, using music and art to teach civic education? Where are these programs impacting Montgomery County students?
- What are current best practices in civic education, and how can civic education be incorporated into other subject areas?
Genie Massey, Program Coordinator for the Maryland Civic Education Coalition and LWV member, will moderate the session. Our three speakers include:

Eliza Newlin Carney, Founder and President, The Civic Circle
