In School Program
Through courses at the Edwards Middle School and the Boston Media High School, we will engage 12-18 year olds in a mock election. We will align the election with lessons on civic engagement, the Electoral College, the rights and responsibilities of voting, the branches of government. Students will also learn about the candidates that are running, and the different issues that are important to the campaign. PTD students will create posters, PSAs and campaign materials to inform their peers about elections. The entire body of students will cast votes at their schools on a designated election day.
