Powerful and Free Resources for Civic Education

June 19, 2025 7:29 PM | Shelly Norden (Administrator)

Over the past few months, SBMA has had the incredible opportunity to attend national-level events and connect with organizations working to restore civic literacy and patriotic education across the country. We’re excited to share some of the most inspiring free resources we’ve discovered—resources every school board, teacher, and family can use to teach the true story of America.

An American Tradition: The Independence Day Ceremony (book pdf)

From PragerU
More than just fireworks and cookouts, this interactive July 4th ceremony book is inspired by the Passover Seder and is designed to bring the founding of America to life. It includes:

  • A ready-to-use script

  • Key Revolutionary War milestones

  • Founding Father profiles

  • A family-friendly educational quiz

PragerU has also released a powerful video series where the Founding Fathers come to life through first-person storytelling.

Remembering the Truth: The Victims of Communism Foundation (VOC)

With communism on the rise in classroom conversations, VOC’s resources are more important than ever. They offer:

  • high school curriculum on the history and horrors of communism

  • In-person and online teacher training

  • Survivor testimonies from the Witness Project

  • Fact sheets on historic events and countries under totalitarian regimes

  • A curated online bookstore with history texts, memoirs, and classroom resources

  • Webinars, video series, and lectures highlighting real-world stories of resistance and survival

These materials are deeply aligned with SBMA’s mission to promote civic education that is honest, rigorous, and rooted in the values of liberty and truth.
