We are pleased to announce that Tom Trainor (pictured right), 8th grade civics teacher at RAUC, was profiled in
"Teaching Civics After January 6th" in US News and World Report.
Over the past three and a half years, Tom and other CPS 8th grade civics teachers worked closely with the department and Harvard's Democratic Knowledge Project to create, implement and refine a new curriculum, "Civic Education in our Democracy," that is aligned with the 2018 HSS Framework and includes the state-required student-led civic engagement project. This curriculum has been
recognized by DESE for its high quality, and was one of only four core civics curriculum materials of nearly 100 reviewed that met DESE’s expectations.
RAUC-on Mr. Trainor!
