Hello John,

The final episode in our Summer Series "Civic Conversation" airs next Tuesday, August 24th at 4 p.m. ET. Join us to explore the topic, "Teaching Politics in the History Classroom ([link removed]) " with Dr. Wayne Journell.

"Deliberative instruction..allows teachers to take advantage of the diversity inherently found in many public schools. Students enter classrooms with their own histories, and many of their experiences may contradict the narrative they find in their textbook or state curriculum standards. The opportunity to engage with diverse narratives can be found in almost every history classroom in the United States, but teachers can only benefit from them if they allow their classrooms to be open to discussion, interpretation, and criticism.."
-Dr. Wayne Journell,
"Social Studies, Citizenship Education, and the Search for an American Identity"
The conversation will feature open questions from attendees and ten participants will win a gift bag for themselves and their students!
