Division to Dialogue

Social studies matters more than ever – but in a world divided by controversy, it’s also more difficult than ever to teach. How can educators turn division into inquiry and dialogue that supports students in building the critical social studies knowledge and skills they need? Join us as we dig into these challenges and explore a framework for teaching controversial issues and topics in today’s polarized climate with Dr. Judith L. Pace (author, Hard Questions: Learning to Teach Controversial Issues), Elizabeth Robbins (NBCT; Gwendolyn Brooks College Preparatory Academy, Chicago Public Schools), and Ashley L. McCall (Assistant Principal, Passages Elementary School; Teach Plus board member).
