Educating For Civic Dialogue In An Age Of Uncivil Discourse by Dennis Gunn, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

Educating for Civic Dialogue in an Age of Uncivil Discourseaddresses an urgent challenge-to help students learn the skills of civic engagement-by offering a framework for authentic cosmopolitan education. As an invitation to ongoing civil dialogue with diverse voices in the classroom, the book aims to foster the skills of democratic and global citizenship that allow students to find their voice as local, national, and global citizens outside of the classroom. It suggests practical ways that teachers can promote the skills of attentive listening, intelligent questioning, reasonable positioning, and responsible dialogue in order to encourage authentic civic discourse. It also outlines specific pedagogical strategies designed to foster students' cosmopolitan competencies as democratic and global citizens. | Educating For Civic Dialogue In An Age Of Uncivil Discourse by Dennis Gunn, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
