In a new essay for the American Association of Colleges and Universities' Liberal Education magazine, Nick Longo reflects on the vital role of colleges and universities as what Teagle president Andrew Delbanco has called "rehearsal spaces for democracy": "We won’t be able to overcome increasing political polarization in society or public mistrust in higher education through one-time lectures or detached analysis. Rather, we need to think about campuses themselves as what Andrew Delbanco, president of the Teagle Foundation (which works to support liberal education), calls 'rehearsal spaces for democracy.' This means colleges and universities need to create opportunities for students to engage in practices that are the lifeblood of a healthy democracy: listening to others, participating in constructive conversations, weighing tensions and trade-offs, working collaboratively, and responding to real-world problems with responsible action."

History and Civics should be relevant not relegated.

I can not agree more with this NCSS statement. We must infuse social studies curricula, especially Civics/Government courses, with the opportunity for students to engage in active learning experiences! We also know that when social studies is taught well student literacy scores increase. Think about that as schools, school divisions, and state boards of education grapple with learning loss. Increase the amount of time dedicated to social studies education and you can begin to conquer learning loss related to literacy and social studies.

As we herald the start of a new year, we reflect on the well-being of our democracy. What is the well-being of our democracy? Our reflection on this question is rooted in knowing that the role of social studies teachers is more crucial than ever... ?? Read more: https://hubs.li/Q02jmx_w0

In this journal article I explain how the challenges democracy is experiencing are also challenging the ability of teachers to prepare their students for effective democratic engagement https://lnkd.in/eVtCTgbj. In face of these challenges four things give me great hope: 1) Our students, who understand the challenges and have ideas on how to improve their education to better prepare themselves; 2) Upstanders who, facing these challenges are taking a greater interest in democratic civic education; 3) The organization Facing History & Ourselves and it's good work supporting teachers to offer their students high quality civic education; 4) The president of the organization Desmond K. Blackburn, Ph.D, and his stewardship of the organization to greater levels of impact at scale. In this conversation with Desmond we discuss how Facing History is making a difference each day to prepare students who can build a thriving democracy https://lnkd.in/e3gf_m9P More about Facing History, including how to support its good work, here: https://lnkd.in/eBKrKbgB

Understanding U.S. democracy is crucial in today's society for fostering informed and active citizenship.
