- **Event Description**: DemocracyReady NY and  LIU HUDSON urge expansion of Civic Education in March 27 Regional  ConferenceAbout this EventDemocracyReady NY and Long Island University’s Hudson Graduate Centers (LIU Hudson) will host a regional conference on Friday, March 27, 2026, from 8:30 am - 12:30 pm, to raise awareness of the urgency to expand civic learning in tandem with New York State’s new graduation requirements. Titled “Saving Civic Education: Community to Classroom at 250,” the day's events will include discussions with elected officials, policymakers, students, and educators in the Hudson Valley and will showcase best practices in civic education. Congressman George Latimer, State Senator Shelley Mayer, NYS Regents Frances Wills and Aramina Ferrer, and Superintendent Ray Sanchez of Tarrytown will be among the day's featured speakers.The conference, which will take place at LIU Hudson on the Purchase campus, is the latest installment in the two organizations' ongoing 2026 collaborative professional development series focused on civic education. The conference will be an extension of New York Civic Learning Week, which takes place from March 9-13, 2026. The event is expected to draw a broad audience of parents, students, educators, and local civic groups.The announcement comes as the New York State Education Department (NYSED) has begun to phase in new graduation requirements under its initiative, New York Inspires - Portrait of a Graduate. The Portrait of a Graduate framework sets expectations for a multi-disciplinary approach to achieving College, Career, and Civic readiness - NYSED’s stated educational outcome goals for a P-12 education. The new framework includes six (6) attributes that illustrate what a graduate in New York should know and be able to do—three (3) of which relate directly to civic preparation: Academically Prepared; Global Citizen; and Effective Communicator.Students’ right to civic preparation was firmly established in CFE v. New York, a landmark decision that also led to the development of the state’s funding formula for schools and districts, known as foundation aid. “Civic preparation is a stated educational outcome goal in New York,” said Nan Eileen Mead, Co-Executive Director of DemocracyReady NY, “yet research suggests disparities in students’ access to civic education along racial and socioeconomic lines. Our statewide multigenerational coalition is urging state leaders to make critical investments in civic education beginning in the earliest grades so that all students acquire the knowledge, skills, habits, and mindsets necessary to be fully engaged participants in our democracy.”“Bringing together local Superintendents, NYS Regents Wills and Ferrer, and DemocracyReady NY’s Ms. Mead is critical to assuring that civic preparation assumes the significance it merits as part of NYSED’s multi-disciplinary approach in Portrait of a Graduate,” said Sylva Blake, Dean and Chief Operating Officer of LIU Hudson.Agenda🕑: 08:30 AM - 09:00 AMBreakfast and welcome🕑: 09:00 AM - 10:00 AMFireside chat🕑: 10:00 AM - 11:00 AMPanel discussions with local school districts🕑: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PMPanel discussions with local school districts🕑: 12:00 PM - 12:30 PMSummary and takeaways
