High Schools, Civics, and Citizenship: What Social Studies Teachers Think and Do

September 2010

American Enterprise Institute, September 2010.
This study revolves around the question: what are teachers trying to teach our youth about citizenship and what it means to be an American? The findings are based on a national, random sample survey of 866 public high school social studies teachers, an oversample survey of 245 Catholic and private high school social studies teachers, and three focus groups.
