In the We the People program, students will immerse themselves in civics education with an authentic learning model. They competed in the MA state competition and will later be competing at the National level at the end of April. The following is the research of their growth and development, both social-emotionally and content-wise. Through this program, the students became engaged with material dealing with topics such as immigration, free speech in schools, the value of civic virtue, and the intention of the Founders in writing the Constitution.
