Knowledge Gain
To assess gains in student knowledge, researchers at Georgetown University tested students’ civic knowledge at the start if the We the People class and after its completion. The scores of JMLP middle and high school students nationally improved significantly.


Student Civic Disposition
The study examined the extent to which students acquired civic dispositions—the commitment to democratic ideals, the development of a sense of public duty, and an inclination to participate in civic life. Students reported that their sense of civic responsibility increased as a result of taking a We the People class.
