				<description><![CDATA[Brian Schultz worked as a teacher at Richard E. Byrd Community Academy in Chicago, where in 2004 he led a predominantly African American class in an experiment in educational innovation. Using Project Citizen, his fifth-grade students took on the deplorable conditions of their school as an issue of public policy. Brian has recently written a book about his experience at Byrd Academy titled <i>Spectacular Things Happen Along the Way: Lessons from an Urban Classroom</a>. In this interview, Brian explains how his students took charge of their education, how they learned, and how he learned from them. Brian Schultz is currently an assistant professor of education and honors faculty at Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago.<BR>

				<description><![CDATA[This month we discuss the 12th World Congress on Civic Education, held this year 
in  Morocco in the cities of Casablanca and Ifrane. First we interview Rick Nuccio, 
director of the Civic International Programs at the Center, to give us an idea of 
what the World Congress was all about. Then we  listen as  Suzanne Soule, director
 research and evaluation for the Center, interviews Zafarullah Khan, director of the 
 Centre for Civic Education Pakistan, and Mirshariff Tillah, president of the 
 Philippine Center for Civic Education and Democracy. We've added a new feature to 
 the podcast: the Question of the Month. Don't forget to write a review and vote for 
 the podcast at iTunes and Podcast Alley. Coming soon: Show Notes and the Conversations
  on Civics Podcast.<BR>
