In these polarized times, how do teachers talk about things that matter? This interactive workshop invites school administrators and teachers to experience and practice strategies that support respectful conversations and perspective taking around potentially challenging topics, essential skills for effective civic participation. Attendees will leave with ready-to-use tools for navigating crucial conversations while building inclusive learning environments.
During the session, we will:
– Provide educators an opportunity to reflect on how they prepare for and engage in crucial conversations around identity, challenging history, current events, and civic issues in their classrooms.
– Explore resources and strategies that support development of the knowledge and skills necessary to participate in relevant conversations that are emotionally engaging, intellectually rigorous, and allow for ethical reflection.
