As a judge and practicing attorney, I have been involved in many programs,
but none that even approached the excitement in civil participation of
this program. Project Citizen is practical experience in democracy and civil
involvement.

LOUISVILLE, Ky - Puppy mills, healthy school lunches and texting while
driving were among the topics tackled by classes participating in the
2010 Project Citizen National Showcase. Cosponsored by the Center for
Civic Education and the National Conference of State Legislatures, the
showcase featured portfolios created by students addressing public
policy issues in their schools and local communities. State
legislators attending NCSL's Legislative Summit evaluated the
portfolios, and the achievement levels were announced on Wednesday,
July 28.

| 2009 Portfolio Achievement Level Results
For the 2009 Project Citizen National Showcase, students prepared four-panel portfolios and documentation binders chronicling their work to identify and research a problem in their community, evaluate alternative policies, and present their proposed public policy and an action plan to have the policy enacted.
Students' public policy portfolios were selected to represent their states at the national level. Members of state legislatures, legislative staff, and educators acted as evaluators for the showcase. Each portfolio was evaluated three times. Achievement-level results were based on the average score of the three rounds of portfolio evaluation that took place during the National Showcase. More>>
