Come learn about a research project called, Project Citizen. This is a program developed and sponsored by The Center for Civic Education and The Learning Law and Democracy Foundation to “promote competent and responsible participation in government.” This project involves collaboration, critical thinking, research, analysis, and student engagement in learning how to monitor and influence public policy. Students will work individually or in small groups to identify and study an issue in their community, research and evaluate options to solve this issue, create a possible solution to the problem, and then develop an action plan to implement the solution (see more at Teachingcivics.org).
