Summary:

Youth participatory action research can turn your classroom into a site of meaningful, relevant civic learning, in which young people gain a sense of civic empowerment as they discuss, investigate, analyze, and speak with authority on issues that directly affect them and their communities. Through stories, examples, and the reflections of youth and adults who have participated in these projects, this book depicts the process of civic action research from start to finish. This step-by-step guide is organized around the five-stage civic action research cycle; illustrated with vivid examples from fifteen years of school-based projects; and chock full of concrete descriptions of lessons and activities for elementary, middle, and high school classrooms. Grounded in a "critical civic ecosystems" view of civic learning, Youth Participatory Action Research in Your Classroom demonstrates how civic action research fosters belonging among youth, enhances communication between students and educators, and nurtures civic engagement throughout entire school communities.
