Community Experts Needed for AHS Freshman Forum

Albany High freshmen have just started the Forum project, working to understand a policy problem and examining two possible solutions. Students will work in small groups to research the problem and solutions, and then present their findings to an audience of upperclassmen and teachers. This is a group project that will culminate in a series of formal presentations on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 31st and April 1st.

Students will be looking at one of six possible topics: gun control, opioid addiction, mass incarceration, wildfires, monarch butterfly extinction, and teen vaping. Do you or other community members have expertise in ways our country is trying to address these complex problems? We would appreciate any help you can provide to support our students! Please contact AHS Librarian, Mary Ann Scheuer (mscheuer@ausdk12.org), if you would like to be a community expert for a small group of students. You could either come speak with students or communicate by email. We would very much appreciate your help.
