Students should be able to communicate effectively and collaborate with a variety of people - from peers to adults. They should be investigators - of the world, their country, their region, and their neighborhoods - to begin to see how we are all linked together and issues in one place affect another. They should learn through service - either community service, or internships about the world and how they can help others. They also need to think about ways to solve problems that exist now. They need to be empowered to not just think of these solutions but also take concrete steps - beyond just a bake sale - to address the issue. Students need to feel like they have a voice and it is just as important as the adults in participating in the world.
