What are the hallmarks of a quality citizenship education program?

Please share your ideas with me

This time I'm asking for your ideas. I'm putting together a list of "indicators of program quality" for citizenship programs, and I'd like to gather thoughts from readers of this blog.

In your experience, what are the features of a really effective citizenship education program? What components should a program have in place? What skills/practices should instructors demonstrate? What kinds of mistakes should progams avoid?

Thanks for sharing your ideas! --Lynne
