Civics Curriculum Materials

Based on legislation passed last session (SB 5092, Sec. 501), OSPI is offering grants to school district Teaching and Learning Coordinators. The grants are from $750 (small district) to $1,500 (large districts) to provide curriculum or to provide materials for professional development. The League of Women Voters of WA  suggests that schools can use these grants to purchase civics education books, such as the League's books The State We Are In. They are available for grades 3-5, and 6-12.  Both books are in the process of being translated into Spanish.  Classroom posters are also available. 

Use this link for the League of Women Voters Thurston County web site to learn more about the books and supplemental materials.

DKG members are encouraged to contact district personnel about these grants and their potential use for civics materials.
