Less Stress, More Learning: Simple Ways to Discuss Policy and Politics in Your Classroom

Learn how to discuss policy and politics in your classroom with less stress! This panel features Dr. Bill Bianoc, Research Lead of Policy vs Politics, and James Coan, Executive Director of More Like US. Elizabeth Evans, M.Ed., NBCT, Program Director for Civic Education, will moderate the discussion.

Topics will include simple steps to vet data for your classroom better and how closing the “Perception Gap” (the finding that Americans are more similar across the political spectrum than they typically think) can facilitate better classroom civil discourse. The panel will finish with a round of Q&A from those attending, and the conversation will form the basis of an ASU civics podcast.
