As we celebrate the nation’s 250th birthday, we also contend with the reality of a democracy in decline. Civic education is crucial for all students to learn to fight for their rights and take on their responsibilities so that we may keep our republic. In the Summer 2026 issue of American Educator, learn how civic programs empower students to solve problems in their communities and how educators can help students grapple with big ideas that bring civic learning to life.

Also in this issue: AFT President Randi Weingarten outlines a plan for boosting student learning in the AI era; educators and researchers show how to support reading and math instruction and student well-being; and AFT-Wisconsin president Jon Shelton shares how his union members are fighting for their voices to be heard.
