Robert's Rules for Kids and Big Kids: A Guide to Teaching Kids of All Ages the Basics of Parliamentary Procedure

By Ted Weisgal and Martha J Haun PRP

Group decision-making in the United States, including voting, is lower than in most developed countries. A big part of the problem is that people don't know the rules. This book, while addressing basic skills like reading and writing and advanced concepts like critical thinking, addresses that lack of training and participation. Designed for teachers of students in grades kindergarten through 12, it takes a progressive approach to mastering the cornerstone for democracy: Robert's Rules of Order Newly Revised (RONR). Many schools have Student Governments. An elite few generally participate. This book introduces universal participation. While a good end in itself, this book goes further. Through the mastery of the many components of RONR, it prepares students everywhere for meetings of almost all types, large and small. It's for training not just as students but for the rest of their lives. Robert's Rules for Kids and Big Kids points the way.
