Preparing young people to be citizens requires us to embrace civic learning as a core propose of education. Last month, thousands of Americans honored the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr. by participating in the National King Day of Service. Dr. King dream of equality, justice, and unity took wing through his pledge to serve others. He believed that service is the hallmark of a full life. He also knew that service is a great equalizer in which people from all backgrounds come together to address important public issues.
Inspired by King’s vision, participants in the national day of service came together to teach literacy skills, rehabilitate housing, and serve meals to the hungry and homebound, to name just a few examples. For many, particularly young people, the King’s holiday was their first opportunity to experience the power of service: working for the common good to make the world a better place to live.
We encourage all Americans to build on the National King Day of Service by engaging in the public work of their communities and participating in our democratic system. Educating our youths for citizenship is our most important public work. We must purposefully nurture the value of service and civic engagement in each generation if our country is to be caring and just. This fundamental ideal depends on a well-informed citizenry that understands the importance of engagement in civic and political life.
Education leaders should work to ensure that the King Day of Service is not limited to a one-day shot of well-intentioned volunteerism. To let that happen would minimize a valuable learning opportunity and misconstrue the importance of King’s legacy. We urge instead that school administrators, community organization, teachers, parents, and students advocate within their districts and schools for three action items that would:
Make service an ongoing part of the instructional program and not merely a series of isolated experiences; Integrate service projects into academic study, especially the civics curriculum, so that students explore the underlying social and policy context of the community issues they seek to address through community involvement; and redefine service-learning specifically, and civic education more generally, as a fundamental objective of teaching and learning and a significant part of district reform agendas.
Preparing young people to be citizens requires us to embrace civic learning as a core purpose of education. Yes, education is about preparing students for college and career, but a third vital component of schooling one that is often left out, is preparation for citizenship. [br] According to the author, the education objectives are preparing students for college, career and______.
