In this crucible era, with democracy under siege around the world and deeply divided in the U.S., educators need to put democracy at the core of students’ college civic learning. But how? In this session, the College Civic Learning and Democracy Coalition (CLDE Coalition) invites you to preview and discuss a new framework that connects students’ civic and democracy learning directly to the urgent problems of our time—and of students’ lives. (And yes, as educators across the U.S. have advised the Coalition, this IS an update of the 2012 civic learning framework provided in A Crucible Moment: College Civic Learning and Democracy’s Future.)
