Students living social studies! Learn how to speak with and engage your students on civics from students themselves. Lead by the founders of a student network of creators and academics reaching across their own party lines to create curriculum, this webinar is designed for teacher to:
Youthivism, a student-led organization striving to bridge the partisan gap via nonpartisan current-events curriculum. Integral to Youthivism’s educational approach is an emphasis on incorporating multiple perspectives, providing students with new points of view to challenge preconceived notions generated via regional or instructional polarization. Our team of high school students from across the country and political spectrum researches, creates, and reviews our curriculum from start to finish. Each lesson is designed to promote respectful dialogue between students on highly divisive issues and to foster cross-party dialogue within students from a young age, with hopes to cultivate a generation of voters willing to reach across the aisle and dismantle political gridlock. Please join us to learn more and experience student led social studies first hand.
