Civic Core Class prepares students to think critically about current issues and perform in civic activities so that they feel personally responsible for making a difference in their communities. Citizenship skills are, in fact, communication skills. They include reading, writing, listening and speaking. Civic learning is active learning that engages students in discussions and activities so that they develop an appreciation of differences, the desire for community involvement, a sense of personal efficacy, the rejection of violence, and civic virtue. Civic values form the core of character education and civility. The power of storytelling is an essential tool in carrying out our civic duty as citizens of a democratic society. Through storytelling, our students demonstrate civic leadership and responsibility by sharing experiences, building empathy, and making changes.
