Because Generation Citizen is an in-class experience, the curriculum is aligned with district, state
and national standards for each site location. These include Common Core standards in English
language arts and (for some focus issues) mathematics. Please see the relevant standards at the
bottom of each lesson plan. Generation Citizen complements existing classroom material, while
demonstrating the viability of civics as an effective interdisciplinary pursuit. Aligned state standards
can be found on a supplementary document. Please consult the Generation Citizen internal site or
program staff for details.
