This workshop, led by the Close Up Foundation, is designed to help teachers and administrators across all disciplines frame and respond to discussions about complex social and political issues, with a specific focus on the upcoming elections.
In this session, educators will:
- Explore strategies for navigating controversial election topics by helping students focus on issues instead of candidates.
- Learn practical techniques to establish norms that foster empathy and civil discourse.
- Apply a values framework to multiple policy issues to engage in productive discourse.
- Examine a set of scenarios and learn actionable techniques to keep students on track when discourse breaks down.
