The Secretary of State&#8217;s Office has shifted its priorities to promote civic education.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><b>SALEM REPORTER <\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>By Jake Thomas &#8211; Oregon Capital Bureau<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">January 1, 2020 at 7:00am<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As a social studies teacher at Amity Middle School, it falls on Jeff Geissler to teach students the importance of voting, paying taxes and how their government works.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now in his fourth year teaching social studies, Geissler recalls taking a training offered by the Civics Learning Project on civic education. During a week-long training, Geissler spent long days learning about the Greek roots of democracy, the American Revolution, the genesis of the Constitution and debates over the founding document.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He overcame his students\u2019 \u201cso what?\u201d reaction by linking civics to conflicts in social life, questions over how rights are applied and conversations they might have with their family at dinner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When his students learned about the number of adults who don\u2019t vote, \u201cThey were aghast and disappointed in the adults,\u201d he recalled.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Geissler said that civics education like this should be in every classroom. But it\u2019s not. In recent decades, civics has fallen to the wayside in classrooms in Oregon and across the country. Currently, there is no requirement for students to study civics in Oregon schools.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research shows that students who are taught civics are more likely to vote and be engaged in their communities. Last year, leaders of the College Board, which administers the SAT exam, said that understanding the U.S. Constitution was as important as computer science.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At least 31 state legislatures proposed 115 bills or resolutions aimed at bolstering civics in 2018, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. But legislative attempts in Oregon to require students to study civics to graduate have failed in recent years<\/span><\/p>\n<p>For now, there are nonprofits working to fill in the gaps.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt is taught, but it is not taught to all of our students,\u201d said Erin Esparza, executive director of the Civics Learning Project, a civic education nonprofit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After being appointed earlier this year to fill out the term of the late Secretary of State Dennis Richardson, Bev Clarno has continued and expanded civic education initiatives launched by her predecessor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During her nearly 20 years serving in the Oregon Legislature, Clarno recalled getting letters from people seeking help on federal issues. Some were struggling with a government issue and didn\u2019t know who to turn to.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She remembered the civic education she received at Redmond High School.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI think it\u2019s something that lasts all your life,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, both face challenges in reaching all parts of the state.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018We\u2019ve got to make good citizens\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Americans are becoming increasingly unaware of the basic functions of government.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A 2016 survey by the Annenberg Public Policy Center found that only 26% of Americans could name all three branches of government. Only 17% of Americans trust the government according to a Pew Research Center survey released in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The National Assessment of Educational Progress&#8217;s most recent report card released in 2015 found that 77% of students scored below proficient in civics and less than half of 8th graders knew the purpose of the Bill of Rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhat&#8217;s going on in today&#8217;s politics, we don&#8217;t have people that understand how their government is supposed to function,\u201d said state Rep. Paul Evans, D-Monmouth. \u201cNow we don&#8217;t have people who understand that it&#8217;s their responsibility to maintain a republic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evans attributed the decline in civic education in Oregon classrooms to a series of tax measures meant to curb the increase in property taxes as well as the decline in timber revenue around the late 1970s and 1908s. With less revenue, he said schools had to get \u201cback to basics.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evans has unsuccessfully introduced legislation three times to require students to study civics in order to graduate, most recently in 2019. He said that the Oregon Education Association (which didn\u2019t return a request for comment) opposed the bill over concerns of creating an unfunded mandate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He said it makes sense that the state\u2019s educational system has given more support to reading, writing and math as standardized testing has become increasingly common. But he said schools should teach civics, which he said is just as critical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe have got to move away from just deciding how we\u2019re going to make good workers for the 21st century,\u201d said Evans, who won\u2019t reintroduce the bill for February\u2019s short session. \u201cWe\u2019ve got to make good citizens.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018Roles that they need to take on as grownups\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Under Evans\u2019 bill, school districts could allow students to participate in an existing civics education program, such as the YMCA Youth in Government, to meet the requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While Oregon\u2019s educational system has shifted, these programs have continued to operate. YMCA Youth in Government has operated in Oregon since the 1940s where students participate in a mock legislative process where they research and debate issues before casting votes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marisa Fink, the program\u2019s state director, said that YMCA Youth in Government is active in about a dozen high schools in the Salem and Portland areas. She said it costs students $200 to attend the three-day event held in February in Salem and that raising funds to attend can be a barrier.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe are really starting to focus on how to expand statewide in rural areas,\u201d said Fink.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The program will be looking to foundations for funding to get more students in the program. But she said some schools are just not that interested in civic education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Esparza said civics education should teach skills meant to help students work collaboratively. In addition to professional development for teachers, the Civics Learning Project also offers programs such as high school mock trials or simulated congressional hearings. It also offers another program where students identify a community problem and research a way to solve it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt requires them to try on the roles that they need to take on as grownups,\u201d she said. At the end of the program, she said students are amazed that an adult actually listened to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She pointed to the Oregon Department of Education\u2019s most recent annual report card, which shows social sciences (including civics) accounts for just 16% of course offerings in schools. But she said that there are other ways to integrate civics into the curriculum. She mentioned a 5th-grade teacher whose students put Goldilocks on trial.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the group\u2019s programs reach 1,300 teachers and 103,000 students each year, Esparza said her group is looking into funding to reach schools that serve communities of color or rural areas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Secretary of state\u2019s response<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In May, Clarno appointed Mary Beth Herkert, the state\u2019s longtime archivist, as her office\u2019s full-time director of civic education.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herkert said previously the job had been a part-time responsibility assigned to a member of the secretary\u2019s staff. She\u2019s carried on the work of Richardson who brought the Kid Governor program to Oregon in 2018. In the program, 5th graders identify a plan to solve a community issue and runs statewide for a one-year term. Herkert said that over 60 schools participated this year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She said she\u2019s planning on starting more programs. She traveled to New York to visit a school that had implemented a program where students read about historical events and then make and defend decisions about what they would have done in that situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Herkert is also planning to develop a program for adults that could involve classes or trivia night.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIf you asked the average voter how the initiative or referendum process works, they probably don\u2019t know but we vote on them every election,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Raaga Mandala, who attends Beaverton\u2019s Jacob Wismer Elementary School, will be sworn in as Oregon\u2019s next kid governor in January after she campaigned on a platform of addressing homelessness. She said that the program was the first time she was taught about government. She also learned another lesson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI learned there are a lot of problems in our community that kids or anyone could help make a dent in,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Contact reporter JakeThomas at 503-575-1251 or jake@salemreporter.com or @jakethomas2009.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As civics education declines in Oregon, nonprofits and a state office try to fill the gap Legislative attempts to mandate civic instruction in Oregon classrooms has failed.
