Be a good citizen
Our educators have created toolkits and resources for parents and teachers to help guide and engage children through the civics process during this election year.
Creating opportunities to talk with your child about being a good citizen and the elections process early on helps develop an understanding of how to ask questions, become an educated voter, and learn how to speak to other citizens in productive ways in order to problem solve.
Assemble Toolkits
Our educators have created toolkits and resources for parents and teachers to help guide and engage children through the civics process during election years. Educator toolkits were created in conjunction with The Arkansas Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and are aligned to standards.
Civics in a Minute!
