Are you looking for effective strategies to help your students navigate difficult conversations? Join us for a joint webinar with Facing History & Ourselves to explore practical approaches for fostering civil discourse in the classroom.
This session will introduce new content from the Center for Civic Education, designed to build discourse skills with a special focus on rural and Indigenous communities through the Elevating Unheard Perspectives through Civil Discourse curriculum. While this curriculum highlights these communities, educators from all backgrounds and settings will find valuable strategies and adaptable materials to enhance student engagement in meaningful discussions. We’ll explore helpful tools and strategies to prepare students for these conversations in the Facing History guide, Fostering Civil Discourse: Difficult Classroom Conversations in a Diverse Democracy.
You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in reflective practice and peer discussions to refine your approach to facilitating dynamic, culturally relevant conversations in your classroom.
Can’t make it live? Register anyway, and we’ll notify you when the recording is available for on-demand viewing—typically within a week of the webinar.
