History
Governance
Chief justice Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye teamed with State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson
to establish the California Task Force on K-12 Civic Learning.The Task Force was charged with making
recommendations elevating the status of civic learning in schools,so that all students in California gain the
knowledge, skills and values they need to protect and participate in our republic.The Task Force was
overseen by the Power of Democracy Steering Committee.The Power of Democracy Steering Committee
formed in July 2013 and was charged with implementing policies on civic education adopted by the judicial
Council.The Power of Democracy Steering Committee accepted the Task Force's final report,Revitalizing
K-12 Civic Learning In California:A Blueprint for Action,released in August 2014.
Butte County is one of six pilot counties that was selected to create a local Civic Learning Partnership
committee to develop and implement a plan for promoting civic learning in their county.The Butte County
Civic Learning Partnership was formed in February 2015 with the goal of developing civic literacy,
disposition and participation of all K-12 students by integrating the Six 11mven Practices in Civic Leaming into
instructional practice and school life,and also by providing civic learning models and resources that can be
used by teachers and schools. The cormnittee's work and achievements during the third year of this two-year
pilot program are outlined in this 2017 Annual Report.
The California Civic Learning Partnership (CCLP) of Butte County is a nonpartisan committee consisting of
approximately sixty well-respected leaders in Butte County.The committee is led by judge Kristen A.Lucena
of the Butte County Superior Court,Tim Taylor,Butte County Superintendent of Schools and Jack
Danielson,Regional Vice President- California of the Horace Mann Companies. Members of the CCLP of
Butte County include judges,the District Attorney,a County Supervisor,City Council members,
Representatives from Senator's,Assemblyman's,and Congressman's offices,lawyers,local business owners,
former and current high school principals and administrators,members of the League of Women Voters,
teachers and high school students.
Since the 2016 Annual Report was issued in February 2017,there have been two additional full committee
meetings:March 3,2017 and December 7,2017.
Policy Setting
The CCLP of Butte County previously announced that all fourteen of the county's fourteen school districts
and the Butte County Office of Education adopted civic learning resolutions aimed at supporting a
comprehensive civic learning curriculum and programs in all K-12 schools in Butte County,making it the fust
county in the state in which all school districts have adopted civic learning resolutions.This was quite an
achievement for the CCLP of Butte County and provided the support necessary to further develop the
ANNUAL REPORT- FEBRUARY 2018 1
programs and reach additional K-12 students.The passage of these fifteen resolutions has continued to
directly impact over 31,0001 K-12 students countywide.
Programs
The members of the CCLP of Butte County spent the first year focused on developing four distinct programs
that would incorporate and interact with the six proven practices in civic education. In its second and third
years,the CCLP has maintained its original four programs,including the Student Voter Education program
which was renamed the Civic Education program to promote a broader focus on civic learning.The CCLP
also developed a new subcommittee for National History Day. It is the CCLP's belief that each of the six
proven practices are represented within the programs.These practices are: classroom instruction in
government,history,law and economics;service learning projects tied to the curriculum;simulations of
democratic processes;extracurricular activities that have a strong civic dimension;student participation in
school governance,and discussions of current events and controversial topics.
x. Mentoring Civic Engagement
The Mentoring Civic Engagement program has continued to grow and thrive throughout 2017.
The goal of the program has been to promote civic engagement amongst high school students through
mentorship programs that focus on government,business,and leadership.Students acquire knowledge of
how community issues and problems are addressed and solved by local government.
The program is driven by actively engaged teachers,administrators,citizens,and civic leaders such as
business owners and government administrators,who are willing to provide resources and facilities for
simulated/mock city council and county government meetings. Students in a particular school or
organization such as the Boys and Girls Club,are offered the opportunity to participate in an organized
simulation in their community.Those students that are interested are connected with program mentors.At
the First of two meetings,students work with mentors to identify community issues that the students are most
concerned about and would like to address in the simulation. A mock agenda and budget are drafted from
those discussions by CCLP members,and used in the second meeting which is the actual simulation of a
town council,city council,or Board of Supervisors meeting.
Achievements:
a. Paradise High School (Paradise)—On May 1711,and 1811 Paradise High School's
Government and AP Government class students were able to engage in a mock town council meeting in their
respective Government classes with the assistance of CCLP members who spent two periods onsite at the
high school mentoring the students.The agenda for this simulation included issues selected by the students,
such as funding a safe and accessible teen center in the town of Paradise for teens after school and on
weekends. Students also discussed developing more employment and internship opportunities for youth
within the town,and explored how developing a community partnership could help.

11. Mock Trial
A scholastic mock trial is an academic event imitating the legal process and is used for teaching
students about court trials and the judicial branch.It promotes the comprehension and due process of a trial
in the legal system through academic competition by student emulation of legal professionals such as
attorneys,judges,court staff,and playing the part of the accused or witnesses.
The Mock Tris!Program has continued to provide this learning opportunity for Butte County
stuudents with the continued support of its subcommittee and other community partners.The Mock Trial
subcommittee would like to enhance the program by encouraging participation in all schools in Butte County
to include curricuuluum related to the judicial branch from kindergarten to high school,and to ultimately
answer the question of why rules and fairness are valuable in a child's life.
The subcommittee's work emphasizes two different programs:
High School Mock Trial-Each sprung,local high schools compete in a mock trial sponsored by
the Constitutional Rights Foundation.The year-long program introduces a criminal case with variances that
allow high school students to learn how to prepare opening arguments,argue pretrial motions,and examine
witnesses.With the assistance of CCLP of Butte County members and school advisors,each leun consisis of
lawyers,witnesses,and courtroom staff.The Butte County competition takes place at the Butte County
Superior Court with a Superior Court judge presiding and deciding the matter.The winning team then moves
onto a state competition,and potentially to the National High School Mock Trial event.
F,.lementany Mock Trial-At the third and fifth grade school levels,participating teachers
incorporate a classroom mock trial simulation within the current curriculum.The students are taught the
three branches of government,roles in a courtroom,and the flow of a trial. Currently,each April or May,
elementary students from local schools in Butte County participate in Law Day with a mock trial simulation at
the Butte County Superior Court.
Achievements:
a. High School Mock Trial(LPHS/PVHS)—The Butte County Office of Education,in
conjunction with the Butte County Superior Court,hosted the annual high school mock trial competition in
March 2017.Each school actively engaged in preparing the students with the assistance of attorney mentors
and the school advism.The program included approximately twenty(20) students from Las Phumas High
School and approximately twenty(20) students from Pleasant Valley High School.
b. Elementary School Mock Trial(Chico Country Day School/Notre Dame Catholic
School)—On April 10,2017 two mock trials were held at the North Butte County Courthouse in celebration
of Law Day. A Superior Court judge presided and approximately thirty-nine (39) students participated.A
ANNUAL REPORT--FEBRUARY 2018 3
classroom visit by a Superior Court judge and local high school students on March 27,2017 preceded the
trial.
c. Mock Trial Script Writing Project-Over the course of six weeks,high school students
representing four high schools (PVHS,CHS,PHS,Inspire) met two hours per week at the North Butte
County Courthouse to draft the mock trial script for use by elementary school students. On March 27,2017,
prior to the Elementary School Mock Trial Simulation at the courthouse,judge Lucena and high school
student writers,visited the elementary school classes to present on the three branches of government,checks
and balances,the U.S.Supreme Court,as well as provide an overview of what the students could expect on
their fieidtrip to the cotuthouse.
;�
Ill. Justice Sayings Classroom Unit
There are seventy-five(75) historic Justice Sayings (quotes) etched in stainless steel plates
embedded in the floor throughout the North Butte County Courthouse in Chico.Each saying identifies the
source or individual and the date in which it was written or spoken. Quotes range from California Civil Code,
to United States presidents,to important political figures,and other popular cultural personalities all with
various thoughts on justice and law.
The justice Sayings Classroom Unit focuses on encouraging teachers to bring students on a tour
of the courthouse and use the justice Sayings as an emphasis for future educational opportunities,such as
essays,research,and presentations determined by the age groups and grade levels of the students.The idea
behind this unit is to bring to life tine ideals of great democratic thinkers (philosophers,writers,and leaders)
throughout history as a way to introduce students to the judicial branch of government in Butte County.
The target grades for the program are aid,51h,8th,and 1212.Ideally,teachers will bring their
students to the North Butte County Courthouse in the fall semester.During the visit,the students spend
twenty to thirty(20-30)minutes to view and read the quotes located in the courthouse and make a paper
ANNUAL REPORT-FE13RUARY 7018 4
"rubbing"of the stainless steel tiles throughout the building;students spend fifteen to twenty(15-20) minutes
with a Superior Court judge and take a short tour. Once back at school,students will prepare a presentation,
essay or research paper,depending on grade level. Additional grade appropriate activities could be added such
as finding an additional quote by the same author,finding a related quote,and for older students-a
competition may be an option.The Court developed a Justice Sajings Ptvjecl:Educator's Guide for educators to
use with their students that includes: a map of the North Butte County Courthouse(NCCH) identifying the
location of each quote,a brief description of the context of each quote,suggestions for essay topics and
further research,and references.
Achievements:
a. Elementary Class(Chico Country Day School)—On April 10,2017 approximately
twenty-one(21) students were able to explore the North Butte County Courthouse and identify the various
quotes around the building.
b. Elementary Class(Notre Dame Catholic School)—On April 10,2017 approximately
eighteen(18) students were able to explore the North Butte County Courthouse and identify the various
quotes around the building.
IV. Civic Education (Formally Student Voter Education)
The CCLP of Butte County believes that it is important to focus on connecting teachers and students
with educational resources and announcements through technology. In order to facilitate this concept,the
CCLP of Butte County developed the new Civic Education subcommittee.The goal of the subcommittee is
to provide teachers with valuable resources and make them aware of potential activities in which their
students can engage.The idea is to send a"blast"of information via email and/or Twitter. Fin-ails that are
sent out will contain lists of helpful resources for teachers and highlight important dates and events such as
Constitution Day and Law Day. With multiple mediums of communication, the subcommittee will be able to
disseminate valuable information more effectively throughout Butte County.
In 2017,a committee generated email detailing ideas and resources for Constitution Day as well as
quarterly Newsletters from the Power of Democracy were sent out via email. "We are a group of educators,
local court officials,business owners,community members,and university faculty that are committed to
promoting and advocating for high-quality civic education at all grade levels,"Dr. Frances L. Kidwell and
Debbie Travers wrote,marking the beginning of email communication between our committee and our
schools.This initiative is still being developed and will need additional support to fully implement.
V. History Day
In 2017, Co-Chair Superintendent Tim Taylor and the Butte County Office of Education took
the initiative to bring the National History Day educational program to Butte County. National History Day
is a program built on active project-based learning,which encourages students from elementary to high
school age,to explore local,state,national,and world history.Students select a historical topic that relates to
ANNUAL REFORM-FEBRUARY 2018 5
an annual theme,and conduct extensive research utilizing resources such as libraries,archives,museums,and
oral history interviews. Students analyze and interpret their tuidings,which allows them to draw conclusions
about their topics'significance in history. From this they create final projects of their work that can be
entered into a series of competitions ranging from local to national levels.
Butte County hosted its first National History Day competition on March 25,2017 at Durham
High School.This competition had middle school students participate and compete in a variety of history
events. Students who are majoring in history at California State University,Cinico were invited to help
organize the event and act as judges.The winuhers of the event included students from Achieve Charter
School in Paradise and many advanced to the state competition held at William Jessup University in Rocklin
on May 6-7,2017.
Four students from Achieve School in Paradise attended the CCLP of Butte County committee
meeting on December 7,2017 to share their experience participating in Butte County's History Day,as well
as advancing to the state competition,with CCLP members.
An award was presented to Rindy DeVoll(BCOE) by the CCLP for her leadership and
facilitation of Butte County's National History Day. Rindy DeVoll,Achieve's Casey Taylor(Principal),and
Kelli Gordon (Teacher)were instnunental to the success of this historic event. Special thanks to CCLP
members who volunteered to be judges for the students'entries.
Preparations are well underway for Butte County's 2018 National History Day.The 2018 Butte
County National History Day will be held March 3,2018 at Nelson Avenue Middle School in Oroville. The
theme is Conflict axed Compromise in History.
