First-Class Citizens: Civics Isn't Just a Class

I did. Narrator: Once a month, a group of students and teachers at Hudson High School on the outskirts of Boston meet to discuss school issues. Okay, just a few quick announcements, and then we'll move on to issues of cluster accountability, a report from that team, and the dress code. Narrator: In this community council, when it comes time to vote, students have the final say, over everything from the school's dress code to the menu in the cafeteria.

I'm fuzzy on when there's conflict. These are all simple majority procedures. Okay. Sean: Normally, when you think of the classroom, if the teacher says something, you normally think of it as right, and if a student says something, you always look to the teacher to reconfirm that. The community council decided that there would be no credits, but still, Doctor Berman wanted some sort of accountability. Brian: I'm biting my tongue all the time. A move to a straw vote. Motion passes. Democracy in Action: Students Step Up as Key Decision Makers. These high school students join their newly formed community council and get the chance to help govern their school.

Democracy in Action: Students Step Up as Key Decision Makers

Running Time: 7 min. For the students and staff of Hudson High School, in Hudson, Massachusetts, civics isn't just a class. It's part and parcel to everyday life at this New England high school, which has become a laboratory of democracy, challenging widely held assumptions about how schools can and should operate. Several years ago, when the district set out to build a new high school facility, Superintendent Sheldon Berman, longtime principal John Stapelfeld, and the entire Hudson High community embarked on a journey that would take them to uncharted waters.

Credit: Edutopia At the core of Hudson's grand experiment is the community council, a committee consisting of elected students and staff that is responsible for making many decisions at Hudson typically left to the school principal or a faculty committee to decide.

Student Voice and the Teaching of Democracy

Politics is in. Five months of presidential political combat lie ahead. So I'm psyched to revisit the challenge of effectively educating kids to be active participants in our democratic processes. I plan to post a number of columns over the next months that focus on student voice, the teaching of democracy, civic engagement and political literacy. I'm hoping some of you will join the discussion and toss in your two cents.
