The Choices Program
[Website]
The Choices Program
was established in 1988 as a national education
program that seeks to engage students at the
secondary level in consideration of
international issues and contribute to a renewal
of civic engagement among young people in the
United States. Choices is founded on three core
ideas: (1) There is a growing need to strengthen
the skills and habits of citizenship in order to
contribute to the renewal of American democracy.
(2) We must do this in ways that contribute to
our understandings of who we are as a nation and
how we fit into the broader world. (3) In a
healthy democracy, public education has an
inherent responsibility to contribute to this
effort. |
