Democracy & Civic Engagement

What are the knowledge, skills, and dispositions that young people need to create a more just, inclusive, and equitable world? Join us for an in-depth, interactive online professional development series exploring the pivotal role of youth civic engagement. Participants will explore concepts and frameworks for teaching civic agency, including through student-led civic action projects, in student-centered classrooms that value student identities and model democratic principles of inclusion, civility, and the common good.

This workshop is aligned to the Massachusetts History and Social Studies Civics Frameworks. Educators from other New England states beyond Massachusetts are also welcome, and those from outside New England will be able to participate if space allows.
