Richard Dreyfuss, Academy Award Winning Actor & Founder of the Dreyfuss Initiative July 19, 2010

Recognized for his roles in Jaws, American Graffiti, and Mr. Holland’s Opus, Richard Dreyfuss has issued a call to action in our classrooms.
Dreyfuss believes civic education is the foundation of public education yet over the years, it has become more about memorizing facts and dates than understanding context and history.
By incorporating logic, history, and critical thinking with a national standard, Dreyfuss hopes to inspire a new way of teaching and preparing America’s youth. Learn more about his bold national initiative to enhance civic education in today’s classrooms.
