Build effective citizens by engaging students with issues right outside their back door. Civil discourse about local issues helps students focus on issues rather than party or leaders. Turn local issues like marijuana regulation, recreation, curfew, and school funding into a magic weapon in civic education. Local government often gets left to last or deleted entirely from civics curriculum. This session is designed to give teachers the tools to make local government one of the highlights of their courses.
