EPISODE 2 DETAILS:
In the midst of an election year, St. Anne’s School has taken the lead on uniting its community through opportunities for connection and conversation at the faculty, student, and parent levels, reinforcing the School’s emphasis on civic-minded and issues-centered education, and highlighting the importance of civil discourse both inside and outside the classroom. In Episode 2, Head of School Connie Coker shares the research behind purpose-driven education and how that informs the School’s approach to teaching students how to be engaged, respectful, and civic-minded classmates and citizens. She discusses the steps she took this year in particular–conversations with other school leaders, faculty trainings, issuing a school-wide statement on Civil Discourse, and hosting a community Pluralism Potluck–to help unite the community amidst a polarizing election season. Two Middle School students, Lauren and Patrick, share their perspective on the School’s approach, highlighting various civic engagement opportunities at the School, and discussing their experiences in Advisory and at the Middle School Social Contract Convention, both of which allow students to practice their civil discourse skills in a safe, learning environment. Student Government Advisor Victoria Hiller also shares how her Student Government students are putting these skills into action and what the trickle down effect has been for the rest of the student body and beyond.
