It started with a long conference call to go over the results of a new national youth poll that some partners and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.civicyouth.org\">CIRCLE<\/a> will release in January. Then some University of Maryland colleagues and I went to a high school in Hyattsville, MD to talk to the principal about three classes that we&#8217;re organizing for his kids. They&#8217;re all civics courses, in the broad sense. One will concern youth relations with the police. A second will continue oral history research that we have done in the past&#8211;the topic being the desegregation of the county schools. (This is the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.princegeorges.org\/history.htm\">history website<\/a> that our kids built last year.) And the third will involve mapping the food and exercise assets of the community. After almost two hours with the principal, I went to my office and worked on a meeting that we&#8217;ll hold in January to discuss the latest research on how to mobilize young voters. And then I spent some time on the phone discussing the organization of the &#8220;Campaign for the Civic Mission of Schools,&#8221; as we&#8217;re now calling a coalition effort to implement the recommendations of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.civicmissionofschools.org\">Civic Mission of Schools<\/a> report. All this talk leaves me with no energy for a blog on any other topic, but it was a rewarding day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today was a day for thinking about youth civic engagement from various angles.
