Let’s Talk About Civil Discourse with Joe Schmidt and Nichelle Pinkney

Mom Of All Capes Season 3 Episode 7

“Social Studies is the curriculum of how we live our life.” YES!
 
 In this episode, we sat down with veteran educators Joe Schmidt and Nichelle Pinkney, co-authors of Civil Discourse Classroom Conversations for Stronger Communities.  How do we leverage intellectual discomfort to grow and challenge ourselves and each other? What is the role of civil discourse in the social studies classroom and in other important spaces? Joe and Nichelle discuss how we work together to be better and why we need to build the skills to courageously engage in challenging and transformative conversations.
