The Patton College of Education is featuring the Outreach Forum “Leading Discussions on Civics, Democracy and Social Justice in Education” on Monday, Feb. 22, from noon to 1:30 p.m. via Microsoft Teams.
The forum will discuss what it means to live and engage in a democratic society, including being prepared and willing to be critical and civically engaged citizens. Following the last four years of national discord, the continued inequitable treatment of people of color, and the recent insurrection, it is important to discuss the role of colleges of education in educating for a democracy and how to be agents of change in our schools and our communities.
