Democracy Now

Political polarization. Election result rejections. Limits to voter access. The January 6th attack on the Capitol.

The fragility of our democracy has become a key talking point for politicians, academics, and the media. But for us, as educators, that fragility is a call to action. We need to equip our students with the skills to not only engage with but also shape our democracy confidently and responsibly. 

• What does active citizenship in a democracy look like?
• How do we prepare ourselves for the challenges that our democracy will face?
• How do we reform our democracy so that it serves all of its constituents?

These essential questions are designed to engage our students as citizens and future leaders of the democracy we want to serve.
