EDUT 5127 Changing World w/ Civic Engagement
Help Students Change the World with Civic Engagement
Youths today demand solutions and change for some of our nation’s most challenging issues. This course provides content area teachers a variety of ways, big and small, to empower students to find their voice as active participants in democracy. Through the lenses of both identity and bias, discover ways for students to research and verify credible and accurate resources, and build communication skills in writing, debate, and civil discourse. Develop a visual overview of the process of civic action, and learn how to create assessments that foster reflection and growth. Plus, this is a text you will refer to again and again! We already know students will change the world, and we can help build the strengths in critical thinking, empathy, and social consciousness to get them there.
