The National Standards for Civics: A Backbone for School Curricula?

Stotsky, Sandra

Journal of Education, v176 n3 p29-38 1994

Views the 1994 national civics standards document as a challenging frame of vital themes and questions for school curricula in the humanities and social sciences. The author considers why this set of standards may be the most important one for schools and why they may be the most difficult to implement, even by motivated school administrators. (GR)
