The mission that has fueled Inspired Teaching for over 29 years is to change the school experience for students from one that prizes compliance and obedience to one that promotes engagement. We embrace that mission because we believe every child has a right to a meaningful education. Children need to be engaged in school so that they will know how to be engaged for the rest of their lives. Voting is the ultimate expression of engagement. In this week's episode, Aleta shares ways teachers can help all students -- even and especially those unable to vote themselves -- understand the importance of voting and its impact in this moment.
