Curriculum

 

Poverty Awareness for Community Engagement (PACE) is a curriculum designed to meet the diverse needs of Wisconsin communities and the programming goals of the educators who use it.

PACE begins from three premises:

  1. Poverty is complex,
  2. Poverty connects and intersects with other issues, and
  3. Poverty is a call to action.

Building upon these three premises, PACE incorporates a continuum of learning which begins with building awareness and ends with a call to action. This continuum reflects the necessary steps to achieve the full range of educational experience—from personal reflection, or the internal, to a commitment for social change, or the external.

Using the interactive curriculum, county educators can adapt education programs to engage a variety of stakeholders, raise awareness on important issues, and inspire community-driven change.
