Civic Learning and Democracy Engagement Coalition Webinar and Guide for Generative Curriculum Planning
The CLDE Guide for Generative Curriculum Planning is a resource for educators who want to make college civic learning empowering for students, feasible for faculty, and renewing for a divided and skeptical democracy.

This guide explores how higher education can help all students develop the knowledge, capacities, and commitment to play a constructive role in the democracy we share.
