Gilder Lehrman Institute Partners With Kahoot! To Launch Citizenship Education Program
(MENAFN- EIN Presswire)
Launching on Citizenship Day, the program integrates game-based learning with civic education, gives students first-hand experience with the US Naturalization Test, and deepens their appreciation for the historical context of citizenship.
Elementary, middle, and high school students-as well as the general public-are invited to explore the Gilder Lehrman Institute's new citizenship portal to take a mock citizenship exam and receive real-time feedback. Accompanying the portal are short educational videos that explore the historical significance behind each question, enriching students' learning experiences.
“The partnership with Kahoot! enables us to leverage cutting-edge technology to make history education more interactive and engaging,” says James G. Basker, President of the Gilder Lehrman Institute.“Our goal is to empower the next generation of informed citizens through a deeper understanding of the naturalization process and the values it represents.”
For educators, the program offers a comprehensive resource hub that aligns with history and civics standards for grades 3 through 12. The Gilder Lehrman Kahoot! portal features detailed lesson plans and multimedia content to encourage classroom discussions on themes like belonging, empathy, and civic engagement.
This initiative is part of the Institute's ongoing effort to provide high-quality educational resources that encourage students to engage with history thoughtfully and critically. By focusing on the naturalization process, the program also aims to highlight the diverse experiences and perspectives that have shaped the concept of citizenship in the United States.
