Behind and around them, other band members perform—one playing trumpet, another singing into a microphone, and a drummer seated at a drum kit. Stage equipment like speakers and mic stands is visible. Bright daylight filters through the open structure of the stage. On the left side of the image, a colorful geometric border frames the scene, alongside text that reads “KQED Fest 2026 – Discover Together.”",

The program is a unique way to engage students in the study of America’s founding documents on its 250th birthday, and in the understanding of using constitutional principles to create positive change in their own communities. Simultaneously, students will have hands-on learning experiences in using the media techniques and skills required for podcasting and audio production.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">With separate curriculum units for both middle and high school American History, Civics, and Government classes, \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Podcasting Democracy\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> combines civic inquiry, media literacy, and audio storytelling in a flexible format designed for classroom practice. Members of KQED’s education team, Rachel Roberson and Jessica Fagen, developed the curriculum in partnership with experienced social studies educators. Twenty teachers across the U.S. piloted the curriculum in the fall of the 2025-26 school year.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">These quotes from pilot teachers exemplify the strong positive feedback the pilot program produced:\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“There were kids who really haven’t engaged a lot in school who were super into it and did very thoughtful projects.

After studying these foundational documents, students use what they’ve learned to create their own commentary podcasts, advocating for an issue they care about, and applying constitutional principles as the foundation of their argument.

We cover topics like how fed-up administrators are developing surprising tactics to deal with classroom disruptions; how listening to podcasts are helping kids develop reading skills; the consequences of overparenting; and why interdisciplinary learning can engage students on all ends of the traditional achievement spectrum.
