11. Hart’s Ladder
Roger Hart, a sociologist for UNICEF
The Ladder of participation
First three rungs to represent forms of non-
participation. First rung generally represents the
threat of “attend or fail”
Rungs 6, 7, and 8 generally represent “young
person/adult partnerships”, programs designed to
foster authentic engagement in communities.
The rungs of the Ladder can help students and
teachers identify how are currently involved in
communities, and give them goals to aspire towards.
