Student Bill of Rights and Responsibilities: Resource Book for Classroom Use.
Philadelphia School District, PA.
This publication includes lesson plans designed to help students and teachers explore students' rights and their corresponding responsibilities to others in the school and the community. Objectives are to demonstrate that an interrelationship exists between rights and responsibilities, that the freedom of expression inherent in the Student Bill of Rights and Responsibilities and the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is relative rather than absolute, and that freedom of expression is a primary concern of the Student Bill. Other aims are to explore the concept of due process; student attitudes and values as they relate to disruptive incidents that occur in school; and to study the balance which must be maintained between the enforcement of law and respect for the dignity of the individual. Teaching strategies include role playing, classroom discussion, debates, case studies, and slide shows. The publication includes five lesson plans which outline objectives, instructional strategies, classroom activities, a glossary of constitutional cases, and the Student Bill of Rights and Responsibilities.
