Educators (and parents!) are always modeling and teaching academic, social, emotional, and civic lessons, even if they are not intentionally “political.” In thinking about the increasing divide within the United States, students need the opportunity to learn how to communicate and discuss difficult and potentially controversial topics. We will discuss strategies to help you identify ways to use discussion to teach and engage our students. This session will enhance the practice of educators with strategies and resources to create a classroom climate in which there are equitable opportunities for all students.
