Many schools have core values that reflect a desire for students to develop a broad community mission and purpose, often through programs with thoughtful curricula, including service-learning, identity work, and social justice. In this article, the author defines civic literacy for educators, examines the need for such a literacy to be woven into the library curriculum, and describes an eleventh-grade research project that promotes critical civic literacy at the Urban School of San Francisco (Urban). |
