This country’s got problems! And that’s why the government creates public policy to try and resolve them. What is public policy? In this lesson, students explore various types of public policy, including social and economic regulations, the provision of public services, and funding for government programs. Students also discover how public policy affects their everyday lives.
I find the materials so engaging, relevant, and easy to understand – I now use iCivics as a central resource, and use the textbook as a supplemental tool. The games are invaluable for applying the concepts we learn in class. My seniors LOVE iCivics.
