The design and implementation of a new Teacher Institute on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship in American Democracy, a special grant cycle to solicit proposals for community reading and discussion programs that have a thematic focus on American citizenship, and a special issue of Oregon Humanities magazine on the principles of American democracy.

OCH proposes to design and implement a new Teacher Institute on the rights and responsibilities of citizenship in American Democracy. We will offer a special grant cycle to solicit proposals for “One Book” style community reading and discussion programs that have a thematic focus on American citizenship. And we will devote an issue of Oregon Humanities magazine to 5 principles of American Democracy we have focused on in other WTP programs to deepen and broaden the impact of this initiative.
