"This book empowers teachers to support student activists. The authors examine arguments for promoting student activism, explore state and national curriculum standards, suggest activist projects, and report examples of student individual and group activism. By offering suggestions for engaging students as activists across the K-12 curriculum, and by including the stories of student activists who became life-time activists, the book demonstrates how activism can serve to bolster democracy and be a component of rich, experiential learning.
