Submit Proposal Ideas Now for 2022 Virtual Kentucky Student Civics Symposium
The Kentucky Department of Education (KDE) is sponsoring the 2022 virtual Kentucky Student Civics Symposium for students and educators to collaborate on ways to improve their local, regional or global communities.
The conference – which is scheduled for 10 a.m.-2 p.m. ET on March 23-24, 2022 – will focus on providing educators and students in grades K-12 with resources, ideas and experiences that will improve the civic engagement culture of their schools. Students from across the state will share how they are making a positive impact on their communities.
Students and teachers will work together to identify a problem in the community and produce a product that communicates student conclusions about how they are improving their local, regional and/or global communities. Products may include, but are not limited to, argumentative writing and/or products, explanatory writing and/or products, discussions, multimedia presentations and podcasts.
In order to participate in the event, students and teachers must work collaboratively to complete the 2022 Kentucky Student Civics Symposium Proposal Submission Form. Prior to submitting this form, teachers must confirm that students have parent and/or guardian permission to participate in this event by completing the Parent Consent for a Virtual Conference form.
Proposal submissions must be submitted by Oct. 1, 2021. No late submissions will be accepted. This proposal is designed to capture the real-life success stories of how students are improving their local, regional or global communities.
Accepted proposals will be notified by Nov. 1, 2021. Products for the symposium will need to be submitted by Feb. 24, 2022, and will be evaluated using the Essay/Paper/Report Rubric, Multimedia Rubric, Podcast Rubric or Discussion Rubric.
