Founded and led by Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, iCivics provides students with the tools they need for active participation and democratic action, and teachers with the materials and support to achieve this. Our free resources include print-and-go lesson plans, award-winning games, and digital interactives.
The iCivics games place students in different civic roles and give them agency to address real-world problems and issues. They are rooted in clear learning objectives and integrated with lesson plans and support materials.
Donna Paoletti Phillips and Marcie Taylor-Thoma are your iCivics State Coordinators. Donna also serves on the iCivics Teacher’s Council providing feedback and advisory support to all aspects of iCivics. Through MDCCHE the iCivics MD state coordinators promote the use of icivics in the classroom at all levels through professional development and sponsorship of regional and state iCivics Gaming Tournaments.
