Conflict and Consensus: What Does Civics Look Like in the Classroom?

Today we are pleased to present Conflict and Consensus, a three-part conversation led by author and educator Pablo Wolfe. In this first episode, Pablo explores the term “civics” and offers us a working definition for these conversations. He investigates how it’s interpreted differently from various perspectives, and how teachers who believe in the civic purpose of schools are navigating these turbulent times.In this first episode, Pablo is joined by follow educator Ylisse Yepez. Ylisse has 36 years of experience in the classroom working with her readers and writers and is passionate about trauma informed practices. In this conversation, Ylisse shares two experiences where she needed to navigate conflict in the classroom from a civics minded perspective, how it resolved, and what she took away from each experience.As always, a transcript of this episode is available at blog.heinemann.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
