| Publisher Description: Uncommon Civics represents a new way to think about, teach and develop civic engagement - moving far beyond how a bill becomes a law. There is a pressing need for designing new ways to develop students as both scholars and citizens. Uncommon Civics is designed to provide educators with a proven method that goes beyond theory to practice. This work includes a class outline with suggested readings and lessons that can be implemented quickly and gradually into existing classes, or can stand alone as its own course. The book also outlines best practices for high-impact, effective civic engagement to bridge the classroom with community. For anyone interested in a better way to teach civics, help students develop their identities as citizens through crafting their voice, and create powerful service and learning community partnerships, this book is a must read. |
