Summary: (Originally Aired: 09/27/12): In this episode, Ellen Middaugh of the Civic Engagement Research Group (CERG), Stan Pesick of the Bay Area Writing Project, and OUSD teachers Patrick Friedman and Jah-Yee Woo discuss their work developing curriculum and opportunities that will allow high school students across the district to engage critically in civic and political life. The project, funded by the S.D. Bechtel Foundation and titled "Educating for Democracy in the Digital Age," is a multi-year effort—the largest of its kind in the nation—aimed at infusing a civic engagement focus into the OUSD high school experience.
