NYSED Seal of Civic Readiness Website HERE
Civic Readiness is the ability to make a positive difference in the public life of our communities through the combination of civic knowledge, skills and actions, mindsets, and experiences.
The Seal of Civic Readiness is a formal recognition that a student has attained a high level of proficiency in terms of civic knowledge, civic skills, civic mindset, and civic experiences.
The Seal of Civic Readiness distinction on a high school transcript and diploma:
Shows the student’s understanding of a commitment to participatory government; civic responsibility and civic values;
Remonstrates to universities, colleges, and future employers that the student has completed an action project in civics or social justice
Recognizes the value of civic engagement and scholarship.
Our nation’s public schools were founded to develop citizens with knowledge and the rights and responsibilities of self-government.
Civic-ready students use civic knowledge, skills, and mindsets to make decisions and take actions for themselves, their communities, and public good as members of a culturally diverse, democratic society.
The Seal of Civic Readiness provides students meaningful opportunities to develop specific civic knowledge, skills, and mindsets, and to participate in authentic actions and experiences that are necessary for them to function as productive civic participants within their schools, communities, states, our country, and the world.
