A 2023 poll showed an overwhelming majority of respondents believe class sizes in NM are too big and that a law should be passed to limit the number of students in elementary school classrooms. 🍎 Research shows smaller class sizes are associated with higher student performance!

We are glad to be working with the following core groups to develop a civics seal to encourage New Mexican students to excel in social studies, government and politics!

37 states require students to earn civics credits in order to graduate from high school. In NM, we could take it one step further to reward our students who excel in politics, government and social studies - a civics seal!

We agree! 🤝 A civics seal would acknowledge student achievement and engagement in civics learning. The goal is to have informed voters, a pipeline of innovative public policy makers, and citizens who have a strong sense of belonging in their schools and their communities.

Similar to a bilingual language/literacy seal, New Mexico could soon offer a seal for students who excel in civic knowledge and engagement! ⚖️📜🏛️ What would that mean for New Mexico students? Swipe to learn more! 👇
