The first place winner will proceed to the national Project Citizen competition in San Antonio this summer. Representing the Western Region will be Carter School in Carter. Eastern Region will be represented by Union Eighth Grade Center in Tulsa. Project Citizen is an exciting model public policy and citizenship curriculum for middle school students grades 6-9. A class selects a public policy problem, develops a class policy and an action plan to implement their policy.
Students conduct research, interview experts and create visual aids to present their policy.
They submit a portfolio of their work to the Oklahoma Regional Competition at the OBA for judging. Project Citizen is sponsored by the OBA Law-Related Education Program. To find out more about the various programs and resources available, see the LRE link on this Web page.
