Are your students ready to become the engaged and informed citizens our democracy needs right now? Your classroom can be a place for them to experience what it means to live in community with others, to overcome differences, and to ask the questions.

Today on the podcast we're joined by Mary Ehrenworth, Pablo Wolfe, and Marc Todd, co-authors of The Civically Engaged Classroom: Reading, Writing, and Speaking for Change. Their book offers strategies and lessons for facilitating civic engagement that you can use in your classroom immediately. They believe that the work of engaging young people isn’t about giving students a voice: they already have their own voices. The work is about teaching them to use those voices with power.
