Civic and character education are both essential pillars that support the mission of public schools. As defined in statute, civic education means the cultivation of informed, responsible participation in political life by competent citizens committed to the fundamental values and principles of representative democracy. Character education means reaffirming values and qualities of character which promote an upright and desirable citizenry. This report is provided to the Education Interim Committee to highlight the methods used, and the results being achieved, to instruct and prepare students to become informed and responsible citizens through an integrated curriculum taught in conjunction with regular school work. This report discusses effective methods for teaching civic and character education and how local education agencies and the Utah State Board of Education are working to provide and support civic and character education in the state. It provides some specific examples of civic and character education at work in Utah, and it details key partnerships which also promote civic and character education.
