Overview

A high-quality student-led civics project should follow these six stages grounded in action civics. However, there is no prescriptive learning experience. Throughout the six stages, students make, reflect on, and evaluate their own learning decisions. Engaging with the process of learning and continuous improvement, not perfect mastery, is the goal, and defines success of student-led civic projects. Depending on the time available, educators may decide to break down each of the six stages into a larger number of steps.
