For Kristen, whose tireless love and support encourage me to say “yes” to new adventures. For Brian and Emily, who inspire me to imagine how things might be and work to create a better future. And to all the educators out there navigating the challenges of discussing civic education. It’s worth it. Keep at it. —Shawn W. McCusker

For my wife Michaela and children Blake and Lydia—you mean the world to me. For my parents, Tom and Lisa Driscoll, lifelong educators who inspired my devotion to the profession and encouraged my passion for writing. And for the teachers and civic leaders educating our next generation of citizens—your work has a powerful impact, and we appreciate all you do.
