The growing political divide in our communities has made conversations about civil rights feel especially complex—and at times daunting—for educators. Yet civil rights are foundational to understanding our democracy and our shared civic responsibilities. Students deserve opportunities to explore how the United States has defined, expanded, challenged, and debated civil rights from the nation’s founding to the present day.
In this edWebinar, iCivics will invite educators to engage in a thoughtful, practical discussion about teaching civil rights across U.S. history. This session goes beyond a single era or movement, examining how civil rights have been addressed through the Constitution, landmark amendments, court cases, legislation, and ongoing civic debates. Together, we’ll explore how questions of rights, liberty, and plurality have evolved, and why those conversations still matter in classrooms today.
You’ll hear from educators working across political, geographic, and socioeconomic contexts who are navigating similar challenges and uncertainties. Learn strategies for fostering civil dialogue, grounding instruction in historical evidence, and helping students grapple with complex issues. Leave with classroom-ready tools, renewed confidence, and the reassurance that you are not alone in teaching these essential civic concepts. This edWebinar will be of interest to K-12 teachers, librarians, school leaders, and district leaders. Learn more.
