🔹how public policy relates to their lives
🔹why it's important to learn about policy issues from credible sources
🔹how to be more critical consumers and creators of information.

The lessons include videos of students asking RAND experts about important issues:
😷How can schools protect kids against COVID?

The videos and other lesson plan materials introduce students to a key element of civic education: understanding and engaging on public policy topics.
