American political culture runs through civics classrooms, and the
degraded dialogue and scorched-earth partisanship that has defined
modern American politics is an indicator that all is not well in
our nation's schools. Teaching Civics in Unstable Times: Guidelines
for Defining "We" in American Democracy offers a fresh, expansive
view of what civic education can look like in K-12 classrooms, and
presents three strategies to help teachers, curriculum writers, and
administrators turn their schools into laboratories for democracy
that train young people for the moral and intellectual challenges
of democratic citizenship. This book defines "democracy" as a way
of life that is characterized by frequent public engagement,
stubborn open-mindedness, and rigorous debate. Our democratic
government depends on our citizens leading a democratic life, and
civic education's chief priority is to teach young people how to do
so. Civic curriculum has spent decades obsessing over names and
dates that fail to give students a sense of their vaunted place in
our governing system. This book presents three strategies for
teaching civics that invest young people in our shared, grand
experiment in self-government and prepares them to lead our nation
towards a politics that is more compassionate, inclusive, and
inspired.
