Abstract | Built as a national effort to promote excellence in history and civics for all learners, Educating for American Democracy (EAD) brought together content experts, civic education organizations, and school district leaders to identify and outline disciplinary concepts that are essential for robust civic education. The EAD steering committee sought to map out the disciplinary and conceptual terrain of what an individual needs to know and grapple with as a responsible member of our society. Members of the steering committee are quick to point out that EAD never meant to, and did not, create a set of national standards or curricula. Instead, the project produced a roadmap that aims to guide national, state, and local educators on essential themes and topics to incorporate when developing standards and curricula for social studies education. In this article, Jane C. Lo presents an overview of the project, how its Roadmap compares to the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework, some potential uses for the EAD Roadmap, and a few challenges of the overall EAD effort.
