One of the most educationally valuable aspects of Civic Mirror is its ability to offer students leadership roles in a safe, educationally-oriented way. Students can become Presidents and Prime Ministers, Senators and House Representatives, high-stakes businesspersons, lawyers and judges, and so on. The ratio between male-female leaders in the real world isn’t balanced (see the fantastic video below), and we hope teachers leverage Civic Mirror so that the girls learn to participate and lead just as much as the boys!
What People are Saying
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.
