  • details several approaches to enhancing the civic capacities of students in these institutions,
  • provides best practice examples and lessons learned from practitioners in the field, and
  • addresses some of the sticky issues such as: What are the outcomes of civic learning programs and practices? How might civic competencies transfer to other settings? Is there a connection between civic skills and those valued in the workplace?
