A field-tested, classroom-based approach for developing the
critical thinking, social-emotional, problem-solving, and
discussion skills students need to be good citizens and effective
changemakers. We often hear that a key purpose of schooling is to
prepare students for informed and active citizenship. But what does
this look like in practice? How do teachers pursue this goal amid
other pressing priorities, including student mastery of both
academic content and social-emotional competencies? Students Taking
Action Together, based on a program of the same name developed at
Rutgers University, clarifies that the way to prepare young people
for life in a democracy is by intentionally rehearsing democratic
behaviors in the classroom. This field-tested program ("STAT" for
short) is built on five research-backed teaching strategies that
work with existing social studies, English language arts, and
history curriculum in the upper-elementary, middle, and high school
levels. Incorporating these strategies into your lessons is a way
to meet students' natural desire to be heard with skill-building
that empowers them to Adhere to norms of civil conversation, even
when topics are controversial and emotions are high; Speak
confidently and listen actively; Engage in respectful debate aimed
at understanding issues rather than winning points; Target
communication to different audiences, needs, and contexts; and
Examine problems from many sides, considering potential solutions,
drawing up action plans, and evaluating these plans' effectiveness
against historical examples. In addition to vignettes that show the
five STAT strategies in action, you'll find practical teaching tips
and sample STAT lesson plans. For school leaders, there is a road
map for schoolwide STAT implementation and guidance on
communicating the program's value to stakeholders. Are you ready to
help students understand complex content, confront pressing social
issues, and engage with the structures of power to advocate for
change? This book is for you.
