After hearing from a number of state legislators and educators that whatever happens in the classroom needs to meet state education standards, the NCSL Trust for Representative Democracy took a look at the concern. As a result, the Trust is offering a new tool for legislators who visit classrooms for the America's Legislators Back to Program. All of the Your Ideas Count! classroom materials and videos have been correlated to state curriculum standards. Also available are a series of lesson plans that complement the Back to School program and these too are linked to the standards. The online database allows users to search each item by state. The results will show how the resources correlate to appropriate grade level requirements.
Legislators, teachers and administrators who are interested in participating in the Back to School Program should contact the coordinator in their state.
