CE2 Applications

Civic Engagement School Application Process

Google forms do not allow you to partially complete the application and return later to finish the rest. YOU MUST FINISH THE APPLICATION IN ONE SITTING. Thus, we ask you to prepare the narratives and spreadsheets ahead of time.

In order to prepare to complete the application in one sitting, be aware you will be asked to write three narratives on Social Studies Classroom Instruction and Action Civics, Structured Engagement of Current Events and Media Literacy, and School Culture and Climate Embedded with Social-Emotional Learning. We strongly advise writing these narratives in Word or Google Docs ahead of time and then uploading to each section's page when filling out the application.

The remaining civic education proven practices ask for spreadsheets to be uploaded. You will need to track your school's activities for Service- Learning, Extra-curricular Activities, Student Participation in School Governance and Decision-Making, and Simulations of Democratic Processes. Please refer to the spreadsheet set up in the pictures below. You will need to create these ahead of time and upload each spreadsheet into each section of the application.

Your school is also being asked to upload a short slide deck or video presentation (no more than five minutes) highlighting the civic practices in action at your school. *If students are identifiable, ensure your school keeps a media release on file because some of the videos may be shown publicly to showcase the school.
