Abstract: Section 312 of the Immigration and Nationality Act requires immigrants aspiring for U.S. citizenship to have a "knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of the history, and of the principles and form of government, of the United States." Section 451 of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (Pubic Law 107–296) requires U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), to promote instruction and training on citizenship rights and responsibilities, including the development of educational materials. To comply with these requirements, USCIS developed a citizenship toolkit and training workshops. The toolkit is provided free to organizations that serve, or that are interested in serving, immigrants. The toolkit includes immigration and civics publications, handbooks, multimedia tools and guidance on how to use these products to help legal permanent residents integrate into their local communities and American society. Adult educators and volunteers who work with immigrants may use the publications, videos and curriculum in the toolkit to teach American history, civics and citizenship in a classroom setting. Immigrants may also use the toolkit as a self-study resource to learn more about the United States and prepare for the naturalization process. In addition, USCIS provides free training workshops and conferences for: • Adult English as a Second Language (ESL), • Civics and citizenship teachers, volunteers, and immigrant- serving organizations to enhance their skills in teaching U.S. history, civics, and the naturalization process to immigrant students. These training opportunities will include sessions on the new naturalization test, the naturalization process, and an overview of the fundamental principles of American democracy. Individuals and organizations wishing to obtain a toolkit or training must complete and submit a registration form to USCIS.
