One of the essential but sometimes overlooked components of civic education is providing students with opportunities to develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to assume the role of citizen. Project Citizen is a program proven as an effective option by independent studies. Project Citizen is available on two levels for middle school and high school students. The workshop will familiarize teachers with the components and process utilized by Project Citizen and provide the information necessary to implement the program in the classroom. It will also prepare teachers to enter their classes in the optional Project Citizen showcase should they choose to do so.
The workshop will be held on March 27, 2023 at the Collaborative Learning Center, Livingston Campus Student Center, Rutgers University. The workshop will run from 9:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m. A continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. Please bring a laptop computer. Additional information regarding parking and other logistics will be sent via email approximately one week prior to the workshop. There is no cost to attend.
