Kohlberg's Stages of Moral Development - Model Presentation

Students were asked to present Google presentations of important theories to modern education.  This video shows the presentation Nathan Cushenbery-Andrews and I created to model the process.
Keyanna Tolon teaching about the Bill of Rights in Mr. Aguilar's class at Northwest Middle

This is one of my Teaching Academy students.  Keyanna was given some limited materials.  She was able to prepare an engaging lesson to introduce the students to the bill of rights and how it all it connect to them as adolescents.   She really did step up.  She engaged the students initially with a discussion/debate over whether or not children should have the same rights as adults.  She wrapped up the lesson about what rights they do have under the constitution.  Finally,  the students read case studies and assumed the role of judges in deciding each with their group case.    I was impressed with Keyana and several others high school students who boldly stood before classrooms full of middle schoolers in summer school.   I am impressed.  I would have struggled to do the same at 16 and 17.
