Abstract

The American Civic Education and Literacy Initiative (ACE) is a multi-year collaborative effort between the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, local school districts in the Johnstown region, and state and national civics advocacy organizations. The ACE Initiative hosted a teacher professional development day in October 2023 that welcomed over 70 teachers from 12 school districts. ACE also hosted an event known as the "Democracy Bowl" in April of 2024 that included 130 student and teacher participants in a trivia competition and celebration of service-learning projects for grades 6-12 from 11 school districts. Representatives of various civic organizations were on hand to judge and assist with the events and to meet with one another.
