- Summary:
-
Teaching about law-related education (LRE) in elementary and secondary schools is an important social studies trend. This ERIC Digest considers: (1) the meaning of law-related education; (2) reasons for including LRE in the curriculum; (3) methods of incorporating LRE into a curriculum; and (4) characteristics of effective LRE programs. Education for citizenship in a constitutional democracy is the primary goal of LRE. Reasons for including LRE in a curriculum are the: (1) development of knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed for citizenship; (2) prevention of delinquency; (3) growth of student interest in social studies; and (4) provision of breadth and depth in social studies education. Special events, units, specific courses, or the infusion of LRE into already-established courses can be used to implement LRE into the curriculum. The characteristics of an effective LRE program include: (1) extensive student interaction; (2) course content that involves a balanced treatment of issues; (3) the use of outside resource persons; (4) strong school administrative support; and (5) systematic staff development. Student growth in both knowledge and character should be stressed. A seven-item bibliography is included. (JHP)
