Assessing Civic Knowledge, Civic Engagement, and Civic Identity in Recent North Carolina High School Graduates

High school is the last opportunity a state institution can ensure its next generation has a solid grasp of their country's past and present, its core principles, and obligations of responsible citizenship. The 2022-2023 school year will be the second year NC students are taking the Founding Principles of the United States and North Carolina: Civic Literacy classes and high school graduates will be a mixture of those who have taken the new civics course and those who will be able to graduate without taking it as a requirement. This study is important because it is attempting to assess the current knowledge, attitudes, and feeling of recent NC high school graduates who have a range of civic education opportunities. Teachers also provide an important perspective as they are end users of many policy decisions and are at the heart of providing civic education to high school students.

Black parents' socialization strategies

Studies have highlighted that Black youth report greater discrimination experiences and that these experiences adversely impact their psychological well-being. With that said, Black parents may utilize a range of parenting practices to foster positive identity development and well-being as well as provide strategies for negotiating racialized contexts. Though studies are often focused on mothers, few studies have captured fathers' accounts of their parenting practices. This investigation examines socialization practices and strategies among Black fathers and mothers.
