Civics Fundamentals is a free online civics course educators can assign to students. The course is organized around the civics content on the U.S. citizenship test and is divided into three main areas:

· American government — principles of American democracy, systems of government, and rights and responsibilities

· American history — the colonial period and independence, the 1800s, and recent American history

· Integrated civics — geography and American holidays

The course begins with a pre-test and includes formative assessments across eight civics sections, followed by a comprehensive final exam. Additional instructional materials include a complete vocabulary list, flashcards, and complementary izzit.org resources to support instruction and review.

Civics Fundamentals can be used as a full course, a supplemental unit, or for test review. Educators can create an account to set up classes, assign lessons, and track student progress. If you only want the videos, they are also available on the izzit.org YouTube channel.
