Presented by Rutgers School of Arts and Sciences New Jersey Center for Civic Education.

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.
