Interaction with local community is at the heart of civic participation. This workshop presents practical strategies for helping students of all ages cultivate community connections that support their civic learning and involvement. You will explore how students can meaningfully engage with others in their neighborhood, town, or city to deepen their understanding of history and current issues and build their participatory skills in scaffolded ways. You will leave with personalized ideas about how your students might engage with their community to strengthen their civic learning.
