Nebraska Capitol Forum
Twenty Nebraska high school teachers are participating in the Nebraska Capitol Forum. Activities are provided to engage all students in participating classes in consideration of the issues. Teachers will select four student representatives from their classes to participate in the Capitol Forum program at the state capitol.
To assist them in preparing for and participating in the forum, teachers are provided with:
- Two free professional development workshops to introduce the Choices methodology which is the basis of the forum
- Choices curriculum unit U.S. Role in a Changing World
- Two additional free Choices curriculum units of your choice. For a complete list of Choices units, go to the Curriculum section of the Choices website.
- Classroom materials specially designed for the forum
- Report of the Student Ballot on America's Future
- Certificates of Participation for student representatives
A National Capitol Forum Ballot Report and state breakdowns are available online.
