Teaching in a democracy is challenging and filled with dilemmas
that have no easy answers. For example, how do educators meet their
responsibilities of teaching civic norms and dispositions while
remaining nonpartisan? Democratic Discord in Schools features eight
normative cases of complex dilemmas drawn from real events designed
to help educators practice the type of collaborative problem
solving and civil discourse needed to meet these challenges of
democratic education. Each of the cases also features a set of six
commentaries written by a diverse array of scholars, educators,
policy makers, students, and activists with a range of political
views to spark reflection and conversation. Drawing on research and
methods developed in the Justice in Schools project at the Harvard
Graduate School of Education (HGSE), Democratic Discord in Schools
provides the tools that allow educators and others to practice the
deliberative skills they need in order to find reasonable solutions
to common ethical dilemmas in politically fraught times.
