A7. Overall, I think the best takeaway is a feeling of confirmation that we are focusing on the right things in education (listening and understanding different perspectives). #engsschat #ListenFirst

I love this resource from @peardeck. It gives Ss a non-threatening way to start difficult conversations, which can then spark more dialogue in the classrooms. peardeck.com/deck/templates-…

A5 civic stories (past & present) that give students "windows & mirrors" to see how people who may be like them or different from them engaged civically #engsschat tinyurl.com/3k7w65ja ... people are complex- students won't agree with everything they did, but can analyze

A5: I do a unit on oral interpretation in which Ss read, analyze, and perform a speech written by another person. They take on stories that are not their own to amplify the voices of others. It's a powerful way to walk in someone else's shoes. #engsschat

A5 - I liked to ask students to find ways to identify less visible perspectives. We often began by discussing the Blind Men and the Elephant. #engsschat
