However, educators must raise the bar for what they expect out of younger students. Middle school students are capable of high quality work, but they need guidance. As with other subjects, a basic understanding of citizenship and civic engagement need to be developed early on in <a href='/topics/education' style='color:#3174a3'>education</a>. After interviewing a group of middle <a href='/topics/school' style='color:#3174a3'>school</a> social studies students about the importance of civic engagement and the purpose of social studies, I learned students are not given as many chances to grow into productive citizens who have formed their own thoughts and opinions until they<a data-href=/writing/document/033A1F7D3799754B class="document__middle white-space--normal source-serif text-l" rel="nofollow" style="cursor:pointer;white-space: normal;"> <i>…show more content…</i> </a></p></span><span class="document__preview text-l source-serif "><p class='text-ellipsis-after'>I interviewed three students from the high ability program and three from the lower ability track at my field placement school. With each response, I found myself thinking of ways to implement these important issues into lessons in my future social studies classroom. All six students related attending church regularly, volunteering, and helping the elderly to being a good person. One student defined citizenship as “everyone doing their part and being the best person they can be.” When I asked what he meant by this definition he explained that a good citizen is nice to others, stands up for what they believe in, and does not break rules. This student seems to have a clear understanding of right and wrong. In my own classroom, I would play devil’s advocate and try to get this student to see the grey area between right and wrong. I believe this approach would help the student better communicate with people who have different ideologies and build their tolerance for dissenting arguments. In a democratic society, citizens must be able to listen to other perspectives and share their own thoughts without completely disregarding what they other person has to say. Westheimer and Kane (2004) suggest schools systems should create citizens who can actively participate in a democratic society; however, schools often promote service rather than true democratic principles. For example, acts of compassion and kindness are encouraged instead of social action and social justice. These characteristics often impede upon “fundamentally important goals for civic educators.” Students felt historical events like the Boston Tea Party and women’s suffrage were important, but not as important as being a good person. Similarly, five students placed the image depicting the Ku Klux Klan in</p></span></div><div class="paper__gradient paper__gradient--bottom"></div><div class="center paper__cta"><a class="button text-m button--orange" id="ShowMoreButton" rel="nofollow" data-href="/writing/document/033A1F7D3799754B">Get Access</a></div></div></div></div><div class="columns large-4 hide-for-medium-only hide-for-small-only"><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_sidebar"></div><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_sidebar_1"></div></div></div><div class="row essay-preview-block essay-related-block "><div class="columns large-12 padding-1 no-padding-large"><div class="columns large-12 paper--related-separator-new"><span class="paper--related-separator-word">Related</span></div><div class="rhino-slot center" id="essay_ad_related"></div><section class=""><ul id="RelatedDocumentCenter" class="unstyled"><li id="related-essay1"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Reasoned-Civic-Discourse-36512E049B0022FD" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Reasoned Civic Discourse</h2></a><ul><li>556 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Reasoned-Civic-Discourse-36512E049B0022FD" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Reasoned Civic Discourse</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Student Learning Outcome #6 "Engage in reasoned civic discourse while recognizing the distinctions among opinions, fact, and inferences" supported with my Summaries Essay.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>556 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Reasoned-Civic-Discourse-36512E049B0022FD">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay2"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Civic-Engagement-In-The-Latino-Community-AA2C4DBAAF9653DF" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Civic Engagement In The Latino Community</h2></a><ul><li>334 Words</li><li>2 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Civic-Engagement-In-The-Latino-Community-AA2C4DBAAF9653DF" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Civic Engagement In The Latino Community</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">As the Latino population in the United States continues to increase, civic engagement is important in attaining political visibility and influence in every level of government.

However, Texas also has a low rate of civic engagement. Being a part of something is a big advantage. You have support and your voice is more likely heard. According to TCHI “working in a community organization, donating, and being in charities is great ” (Texas 4). It is good to give to the community and let them know you care about the community. Another form of civic engagement would be writing to your elected officials. If, there is something wrong with your community that you want improvement in it is your responsibilities and freedom to talk to a representative to fix it! There is no shame on asking for something you deserve for the community.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>134 Words</li><li>1 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-satisfactory-essays"><div><span>Satisfactory Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Civic-Engagement-Research-Paper-FCJMC6FWV">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay4"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Civics-And-Citizenship-In-Australia-PJNUR9WRLT" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Civics And Citizenship In Australia</h2></a><ul><li>980 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Civics-And-Citizenship-In-Australia-PJNUR9WRLT" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Civics And Citizenship In Australia</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">Civics and citizenship education is a vital part of the Australian curriculum, as it prepares students to become active and informed citizens in the community (ACARA, 2012).

When I was starting my research on the different courts we have here in Florida, I came across Drug Courts. The more I read up on drug courts, the more I became fascinated and intrigued. Drug courts do not aim to "PUNISH”, but yet to provide treatment to drug abusers. This kind of court believes that everyone deserves a second chance, that extra push.

Students’ “I can” statements included that “I can help create and follow our class and school rules” and “I can stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance”. I was also able to observe the principle discussing the values of respect, compassion, responsibility, honesty and self-discipline in the classroom, hallway, lunchroom, bathrooms, and riding on the bus. This subject matter is essential for both teaching and learning. The teacher needs to “plan and deliver an integrated, thoughtful, and organized” expectations/rules plan at the beginning of the year that will be effective and efficient throughout the year (Concordia, 2015, p.10). An ineffective plan could bring on a huge negative impact to the classroom and student learning. These rules and skills utilized in the classroom can also help the students’ learn by being able to reflect and understand civic values and identities which will be discussed in future lessons.

In a course like civics, students critically investigate local, national, and worldwide issues with a political perspective. One aspect of the curriculum is personal action on civic issues, by which means students are to analyze a civic issue and develop an action plan to address it. Through this, our class worked with an organization named DILA (A Day of Information for a Lifetime of Action), an organization that aims towards engaging youth in Ottawa by encouraging hands-on engagement in their communities, addressing civic issues that individuals are passionate towards, and to increase the importance of the democratic decision-making process. A DILA project main objective is to simply empower the young millennials, by giving them a chance to let their ideas, imagination, and voice shine.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>789 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Civic-Reflection-PJUTV3AZGR">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay14"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Who-Is-John-Dewey-PJHC8WM5HNT" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Who Is John Dewey</h2></a><ul><li>918 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Who-Is-John-Dewey-PJHC8WM5HNT" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Who Is John Dewey</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">John Dewey, the father of education, created a vision of education being the key to prepare people for citizenship.

Residents of a community have the constant responsibility of making the society around them reflect an advance in the eminence of lives in the community. The simple duty of any citizen is to give to the common good. Civic responsibilities are achieved by volunteering and choice. Volunteering, involving in positive organizations and aids, or tutoring people in certain subjects, are all ways that people can subsidize to the good of the community. Small deeds that seem to prosper someone in some way or the other is still a way of helping. To learn something from the assistance that one does to another, the deed does not have to be big, as long as the person providing the assistance is doing it with a good heart they can always acknowledge a lesson. Compassion and love is necessary in helping others. When people have the opportunity to help others they may not always get a gift in return, sometimes they may not even get a reply back. This is when the person has to realize that the purpose of helping someone is not for the thank you or the gift, but is for the satisfaction of their soul, betterment of the other, and the ability to learn a lesson. Assisting people needs to be done in a thoughtful and effective way for it to create a lasting impact on his/her self and on society itself.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative
