What if how we engage with each other is just as important as what we know? Today’s youth are full of so much potential. They’re also growing up in a country where divisions are making it harder to simply talk to one another in a constructive way. This is why we created a free civil discourse resource guide for educators, introduced by our CEO Andrea Lovanhill in her letter “Why Healthy Discourse Starts in Our Classrooms.” The guide shows how teaching social-emotional skills like empathy and communication can bridge divides and foster respect. Download it now to help prepare students for thoughtful conversations and a more connected future.
