Common Sense Media (CSM) is a national leader in digital and media literacy curricula and training. We spoke with Eisha Buch, CSM’s Head of Teaching and Learning, about “digital citizenship.” She commented, “You can't fully participate in civic life today without digital literacy—the ability to engage with those spaces responsibly, safely, and meaningfully. And that's the lens our curriculum brings to the topic.”

As the preeminent source for civics education in the country, iCivics provides non-partisan curricula and training for educators in all 50 states—in close to 150,000 K–12 schools. Natacha Scott, Director of Educator Engagement, told us, “The country often talks about civic learning and engagement as things it hopes young people will do. iCivics is working toward a world where they are actually prepared to do them.”

Creating Citizens is Commonwealth Club World Affairs’ (CCWA) civics education initiative. We recently had an opportunity to chat with Lauren Silver, who developed and leads the program, about bringing high school students and teachers into the compelling conversations for which CCWA is widely renowned.
