A great topic for discussion- What to do about Ukraine? Check out our resources here as we endeavor to create a space where students are encouraged to read and consider diverse viewpoints. projectcivamerica.com/2022/0…
This is a great time to plan to have a ProjectCiv club for next school year! You pick the topic-it can be something in your school or community, or even something that’s a national issue. You might consider using student leaders! projectcivamerica.com/about/
This is a great time to plan for the beginning of the school year. Plan on forming a ProjectCiv club at your school! projectcivamerica.com/2018/0…

This is a great webinar!
For those who missed it, check out the recording of our webinar "How to Teach Middle School Students to Argue Better." Thank you to our partners @facinghistory @allstate @bezosfoundation for making this work possible. #ArgueBetter youtube.com/watch?v=WIDw41aj…
This is great! 👏👏👏
The Better Arguments Project has released a new middle school curriculum that teaches students how to #ArgueBetter and engage productively and meaningfully with diverse viewpoints. betterarguments.org/resource…

What a profound article and a good reminder of the importance of school librarians. I teach students media literacy, digital citizenship, and intellectual humility (I started @projectciv so my kids could interact with classmates who have different viewpoints!)
Americans struggle with disinformation, believe conspiracies at frighteningly high rates, and harbor wildly negative views of one another. @JonValant argues that schools have a role to play in helping people navigate the new realities of the 21st century. brook.gs/3pDbgTL

There are so many great topics out there now! While we are missing in-person meetings, we can still have these conversations virtually.
Check out our @projectciv discussion this Thursday, where we talk about the peaceful transfer of power! Should be a good one!
Love this! One of our favorite ProjectCiv discussions was about cancel culture. nytimes.com/2020/11/19/style…
Great article. Kids *are* talking about politics, with or without us.
Let’s teach them how, and give them space to do so.
Michael Martirone asked his high school students to describe how they felt about the election in a single word. The responses poured in: Nervous. Worried. Anxious. Scared. Hopeless. Disappointed. Argh. washingtonpost.com/education…
Love being featured in this article by @HKorbey for @LetGrowOrg!

With school starting back, virtually for some, this is a great time to start a ProjectCiv club. Check out our newest topic: Should There Be Police Officers in Schools? Here are some good articles to share with your students: projectcivamerica.com/2020/0…
The new school year is starting soon and it will look different for many of us. Students are discussing politics, often on social media. Help them become more informed citizens by starting a ProjectCiv chapter at your school! projectcivamerica.com/about/
This is a great article to discuss with your students!
While we often focus on the red-blue divide, we can't forget the impact of class on people's experiences, especially the economic fallout of the pandemic. #LetsGoThere by having real conversations on why people may want to #reopen

Teachers and Librarians, what are you discussing with your students? @AllSidesNow has some wonderful resources about COVID-19. One of my favorite topics is "reopening the country." It's perfect for a @projectciv discussion! allsides.com/story/conflicti…
Teachers and librarians, if you’re teaching remotely, this is a great conversation guide!
Community is a gift we give to ourselves and others. Connect with others through honest conversations using @GivingTuesday's Conversation Guide for #GivingTuesdayNow 👉 bit.ly/2z5Gldn
