The American Democracy Project (ADP) is a university-wide initiative designed to prepare the next generation of informed, engaged citizens for our democracy. The goal of the American Democracy Project is to produce university graduates who are committed to being active citizens in their communiti

es with civic knowledge, skills, and values. The American Democracy Project initiative provides numerous civic and political engagement activities that challenge and encourage students to find their place and make a difference. The American Democracy Project was started at Fort Hays State University in 2004 and placed within the Center for Civic Leadership, which houses four organizations dedicated to increasing civic education and engagement at all levels of citizenship. The national initiative of the American Democracy Project was created by the American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) in 2003 to prepare the next generation of informed, engaged citizens for our democracy. FHSU is one of two participating universities in Kansas. Mission

Great news, Tigers! We have rescheduled this Times Talk for next Wednesday at noon, so be sure to check it out and have a meal on us! Read more about the Times Talk below!

Last year, the headlines about educational progress post-pandemic confirmed what most of us already anticipated: significant learning loss for elementary and secondary students and a widening gap between higher-performing and lower-performing students. Data released in 2022 showed the largest ever recorded decline in mathematics and not a single increase in reading scores across the country in grades 4 and 8.

Education: Evaluating Progress in the Pandemic will examine one of the most pressing issues that permeate every student regardless of race, gender, socioeconomic status, ability, and location – the pursuit of knowledge through our current system of education and the trends in student achievement.

The upcoming Times Talk will explore the data collected to measure student achievement throughout the country since 1969. We will discuss the results of the 2022 Nation’s Report Card; the impact on students, teachers, and policies; and strategies to target inequalities and disparities in education.
