\nDescription – Civics is not just about U.S. history, government, and politics\u2014it is about a certain approach to individual and collective learning that helps communities thrive. Moreover, history, government, politics, and other modes of learning and acting in public all have deep implications for other content areas, and vice versa.

\nTime – 2 – 2:50 p.m.
\nLocation – SC 301
\nDescription – This session will explore the extent to which civic identities, skills, and dispositions are valued by employers, in both the public and private sectors. The National Association of Colleges and Employers Jobs Outlook 2022 survey found that nearly all employers surveyed ranked critical thinking, communication, and teamwork as \u201cvery\u201d to \u201cextremely\u201d important qualities in new hires out of college. (Technological proficiency, though desired, was far lower on the NACE group\u2019s scale of priorities.) Only around half of surveyed employers rated recent graduates \u201cvery\u201d or \u201cextremely\u201d proficient critical thinkers and communicators. This session also seeks to engage teacher in a discussion on civic education in relation to career readiness. Examples of civic related skills relevant to employment are things like communication across different perspectives, the ability to interact with people who might have different perspectives, and how to work collaboratively with people from diverse populations. Examples of civic dispositions fostered through education would be things like how people become better consumers of news and participate in various forms of public service.-2<\/ul>\n\nPresenter – Jill Bradley-Levine

\nLocation – SC 301-2
\nDescription – Many teachers associate teacher leadership with positions such as instructional coach, department chair, PD lead, or mentor. However, the concept of teacher leadership is much broader than roles and responsibilities associated with these formal positions. This session will offer a broader view of the ways that teachers practice leadership through their daily interactions with students and colleagues and introduce ways that teacher leaders can influence other members of their school community to embrace civics education. <\/ul>\n\nPresenter – Holly Korbey
\nTime – 10 – 11:50 am
\nLocation \u2013 Forum Room, Room 237
\nDescription – Why does civics education matters, and how do classrooms pull it off successfully? Social studies and civics education aren’t getting enough attention\u2014and the consequences are serious. In this session, Korbey presents the case for why civics education is so crucial to a flourishing democracy. Building on research and her book Building Better Citizens, Korbey examines different civics programs in districts and schools around the country, highlighting how different programs work and what makes them so successful. Participants will explore how students improve history knowledge, how educators conduct conversations on controversial topics to improve student learning, why mock-legislature programs are so successful in creating more engaged citizens, why research-based media literacy programs are so critical, and more. <\/ul>\n\nPresenter – Sarah Vitale
