The Rendell Center
Established by former PA Governor Edward Rendell and Judge Marjorie Rendell to promote civic education in our schools.
The Rendell Center promotes civic education and engagement. To accomplish this, we offer opportunities for educators and students to develop the knowledge, practices and dispositions of engaged citizenship. For educators, we create curriculum content, pedagogical tools, and professional development experiences. The Rendell Center also provides to students of all ages and grade levels opportunities, events, and spaces for dialogue about and engagement with issues of citizenship and civics.
