State of Civics: South Carolina

Please join The Reagan Institute on May 19th at 2PM ET for “The State of Civics: South Carolina.” Moderated by Dr. Janet Tran, Director of the Center for Civics, Education, and Opportunity, this virtual conversation will highlight the exemplary civic education initiatives of South Carolina. Molly Spearman, South Carolina State Superintendent of Education, Albert Robertson, President of the South Carolina Council for the Social Studies, Mary Ellen Daneels, Steering Committee Member at Educating for American Democracy, and Jeremy Ward, a recent graduate of the University of South Carolina Honors College will discuss their current efforts in civics education, as well as their goals for the future.

South Carolina is the third state in the “State of Civics” series hosted by the Reagan Institute. The aim of this series is to better understand the current state policy environment for civic learning and engagement. Civic education is a key to strengthening our democratic republic, and supporting academic achievement and 21st Century workforce skills.
