What Students are Saying About Us
“The Civic Mirror is an amazing tool for students. Through the simulation, our class has not only learned more about our political system, but also about ourselves as students and citizens. It’s brought our class together and got us talking about important issues in our country and in our world and what we can do to change them. I would recommend this program to colleges everywhere.”— Megan Claire, Student, College of San Mateo, San Mateo, CA
The Civic Mirror simulation was quite possibly the most interesting educational activity that I’ve ever participated in. The trading, the real-life situations, the things that we accomplished, the arguments that we had and the conflicts we resolved. I feel this simulation really mirrors the world.— Daniel Haynes, High School Student, The Woodlands School, Toronto, ON
The Civic Mirror provided me with an incredible experience that years in school cannot teach about politics and economics. A straight-A student may have lots of knowledge, but I have the head start in the real world.— Tetsuya Kobayashi, High School Student, Seoul International School, South Korea
What Instructors are Saying About Us
The Civic Mirror is the answer! My students are learning more as a class than ever before. They are learning faster and they are getting it and they are enjoying themselves! I have always felt that we learn best by doing. I finally found my solution: The Civic Mirror!— Erin L. Scholnick, Asst. Professor of Political Science, College of San Mateo, San Mateo, CA
The Civic Mirror is almost magical in the way it weaves drama and intrigue with core curricula elements to generate excitement and anticipation in the classroom – for both teachers and students! It also challenges educators to rethink their roles and to re-conceive normative classroom structures.— Lizanne Foster (MA), High School Teacher, Queen Elizabeth Secondary, Vancouver, BC
I have never seen a classroom come so alive. It amazed me to see how much the allowance of freedom empowered my students … For the first time in my teaching career I witnessed students really questioning the world around them instead of blindly accepting what we had told them. Not only is The Civic Mirror a positive experience for students, but a necessary one.— Kelly Devenish (M.Ed), High School Teacher, The Woodlands School, Toronto, Ontario
My students are living out what they think a good government would be and seeing the problems that happen. I have parents calling me up telling me how much their kids are talking about what they are learning and how much fun they are having learning.— Lee Kaiser, Teacher from Chemawa Indian School, Salem, OR
