Interesting questions to discuss tonight on #resiliencechat... let's get started...

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:10 PM EDT

Q1: Why is it impt. to talk to students about civic engagement? #resiliencechat

LamarAPLang Apr 24 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1: To encourage them to be positive and productive members of society #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:11 PM EDT

#resiliencechat is now talking about Youth and Civic Engagement. Join us! #edchat

Bhsteeler Apr 24 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1: they need early experience at engagement, real investment in what they care deeply about #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:11 PM EDT

A1 It's important because not everyone is like me. I've been involved since I was 18. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:11 PM EDT

Absolutely! #resiliencechat

In reply to @LamarAPLang

Naomaclane Apr 24 @ 10:12 PM EDT

Yes, and to get them involved in something outside themselves. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:12 PM EDT

Hi Brian! You are so right! It is never too early to get started lending your voice! #resiliencechat

In reply to @Bhsteeler

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:12 PM EDT

You go, Girl!!! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:12 PM EDT

A1 Most people are afraid to be involved. They resist putting themselves out there. Not talking about extrovert. Caring #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:13 PM EDT

SOOOOOOO important--builds empathy! #resiliencechat

In reply to @Naomaclane

shelbycurf Apr 24 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1: To show them they have a voice and an ability to make change! #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:14 PM EDT

A1 A lot of people wait for others to do the heavy lifting. Just human nature. Been rolling up my sleeves since I was 18. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:14 PM EDT

Just thinking...participating in this #resiliencechat is engaging in a form of civic engagement. Right?

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:14 PM EDT

Yes. And a very good one. #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:16 PM EDT

No one taught me about being civic minded. I think certain circumstances caused me to be that way. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:16 PM EDT

Some folks think civic engagement is only for older students. Let's prove them wrong w/#resiliencechat Q2...

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:16 PM EDT

Q2: How can civic engagement be introduced and accomplished in the primary grades? #resiliencechat

Bhsteeler Apr 24 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2: natural curiosity and interest in animals and the environment are easy ways for the very young to feel engaged #resiliencechat

LamarAPLang Apr 24 @ 10:19 PM EDT

A2: by being modeled and encouraged by teachers; through service learning projects #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:20 PM EDT

Yes. Those were often ones they would choose to do! #resiliencechat

In reply to @Bhsteeler

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:21 PM EDT

My mom would take me to protests when I was younger. Got me started early! #resiliencechat

shelbycurf Apr 24 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A2: By being informed about events and issues going on in their own schools and communities #resiliencechat

Naomaclane Apr 24 @ 10:22 PM EDT

One of the best civic involvements in elementary is in the classroom itself, a human ecosystem in which all can contribute. #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:22 PM EDT

A2 One thought I have about primary grades is something basic like gardening or cleaning up and recycling. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:22 PM EDT

LOVE THIS THINKING!!! #resiliencechat

In reply to @Naomaclane

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:23 PM EDT

For sure! We did a Clean Up the Creek project in 1st and 2nd grade #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:23 PM EDT

I saw grandmother, mother and baby at the Tax March. I thought that was really wonderful. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:21 PM EDT

My mom would take me to protests when I was younger. Got me started early! #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:23 PM EDT

Being informed is key!!! I had elementary students do a type of classroom news broadcast. #resiliencechat

In reply to @shelbycurf

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:24 PM EDT

I think that children can see a difference in doing something basic like that. It's concrete. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:25 PM EDT

Yes, the more concrete the better for the younger students. #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

mrkevinparr Apr 24 @ 10:25 PM EDT

Yes. Start small. Classroom-->grade level--> school--->community #resiliencechat

In reply to @LamarAPLang

Q3: How can civic engagement be introduced and accomplished with older students? #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:25 PM EDT

So good to see you, Kevin! Yes...scaffolding is great! #resiliencechat

In reply to @mrkevinparr, @LamarAPLang

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:26 PM EDT

A3 Ask them what matters to them. I saw a lot of kids at the March for Science. Something they can relate to. #resiliencechat

Naomaclane Apr 24 @ 10:27 PM EDT

Some of same ideas apply. An important learning in Service Learning is actually students determining the project's focus.. #resiliencechat

LamarAPLang Apr 24 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A3: Listening to the interests of the kids and acting on what inspires them-- this achieves more buy in #resiliencechat

Bhsteeler Apr 24 @ 10:27 PM EDT

A3: they are often looking to create change within the school policy, breakdown the steps of advocacy and influence #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:27 PM EDT

You are so right! It is important to ask THEM what is impt. in their lives to act upon. Our job is to listen and support #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:28 PM EDT

A3 Important for the older kids to know history. Kid Q studied about the Holocaust and that made a difference to her. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:28 PM EDT

It is impt. to teach Ss how to advocate not just for issues and others, but also for themselves! #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:30 PM EDT

Also help to broaden their horizons. 1968 was a big turning point for me. We talked politics at home. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:30 PM EDT

Interesting question coming up...#resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:30 PM EDT

Yes, we OFTEN talked politics growing up. #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:31 PM EDT

Q4: Have you seen ed. focusing on civic engagement increase or decrease? Why do you think it has increased or decreased? #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:31 PM EDT

Why I quote Hillel: If I am not for myself, who am I? If I am not for others, what am I? If not now, when? #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:28 PM EDT

It is impt. to teach Ss how to advocate not just for issues and others, but also for themselves! #resiliencechat

LamarAPLang Apr 24 @ 10:32 PM EDT

A4: Increase on a more local level-- more school and community partnerships #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:32 PM EDT

A4 I think it's decreased. Then again events of 1968 were kind of in my face. Hard to ignore. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:33 PM EDT

Some feel that the emphasis on reading/writing/math has taken away education focused on civic engagement #resiliencechat

Bhsteeler Apr 24 @ 10:33 PM EDT

A5: some issues now so politically charged they rarely get acted on, in that way some retraction of areas of advocacy #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:34 PM EDT

A4 Because of my parents concern over the 1968 election, I was made more aware of outcomes than other kids. #resiliencechat

shelbycurf Apr 24 @ 10:34 PM EDT

Q4: One of my classes discussed implementing citizen science projects for the students which sounded super interesting! #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:34 PM EDT

Yes, I am seeing that happen as well. #resiliencechat

In reply to @Bhsteeler

Naomaclane Apr 24 @ 10:34 PM EDT

I believe it may have decreased in schools, esp secondary - measured by interest in student govt.? #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:34 PM EDT

Love this idea! Can you say more? #resiliencechat

In reply to @shelbycurf

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:34 PM EDT

It's all important. We need it to be balanced. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:33 PM EDT

Some feel that the emphasis on reading/writing/math has taken away education focused on civic engagement #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:35 PM EDT

Different ways to measure it. Yes, student govn't is one. What might some others be? #resiliencechat

In reply to @Naomaclane

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:35 PM EDT

Some households more than others. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:35 PM EDT

Yes, and there are certainly ways to integrate them as well. #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:36 PM EDT

Speaking of integrating civic engagement into the curriculum...#resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:36 PM EDT

Q5: What have you done to promote civic engagement w/your students? How have you integrated it into your curriculum? #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:36 PM EDT

Absolutely. Kids can read Diary of Anne Frank and novels with certain themes to them. #resiliencechat

In reply to @saratruebridge

shelbycurf Apr 24 @ 10:37 PM EDT

@saratruebridge basically, students picked an issue impacting the community and built an experiment or study around it! #resiliencechat

LamarAPLang Apr 24 @ 10:37 PM EDT

A5 My students are researching social issues that interest them for their final paper #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:37 PM EDT

Yes, themed reading is great! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:37 PM EDT

Love it! Like Project Based Learning? #resiliencechat

In reply to @shelbycurf

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:37 PM EDT

YAY! You are on top of this issue! #resiliencechat

In reply to @LamarAPLang

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:38 PM EDT

A5 Something must be impressing itself on Kid Q because she seems to be more aware of the world around here. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:38 PM EDT

...and I'm sure you are a great role model for her! #resiliencechat

In reply to @MissShuganah

Bhsteeler Apr 24 @ 10:38 PM EDT

A5: we finish every week discussing current events, many students openly show their enthusiasm for these issues #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:39 PM EDT

Always a great way to finish the week! #resiliencechat

In reply to @Bhsteeler

In reply to @saratruebridge

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:41 PM EDT

Here's a good question coming up in #resiliencechat...

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:41 PM EDT

Q6: Are there any challenges w/ talking to students abt civic engagement? If so, what are some of those challenges? #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:41 PM EDT

Why I am bummed when no one is around. No better way to end a Monday night. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:40 PM EDT

(And #resiliencechat is always a great way to START the week. Just sayin'....)

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:42 PM EDT

If I do my invites to #resiliencechat like I used to--Twitter puts me in Twitterjail!

In reply to @MissShuganah

LamarAPLang Apr 24 @ 10:42 PM EDT

A7 preconceived ideas; arguments over what issues are most relevant/ important to Ss #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:42 PM EDT

A6 I would think that it would be hard not to be neutral. And maybe one shouldn't be, but need to find a happy medium. #resiliencechat

saratruebridge - Moderator Apr 24 @ 10:43 PM EDT

Interested in hearing answers to #resiliencechat Q6... Thoughts?

Bhsteeler Apr 24 @ 10:43 PM EDT

A6: the narrow mindedness of some supper tables transfers to narrow mindedness in classroom discussions #resiliencechat

MissShuganah Apr 24 @ 10:43 PM EDT

I know. I think that, after all these years, Twitter ought to stop that. #resiliencechat

Q7: How are the concepts of resilience and civic engagement connected? #resiliencechat

Watermelonworks Apr 24 @ 10:50 PM EDT

A6: possibly offending people with answers? Could be too real? Could be Ss living the social issues and no one knows? #resiliencechat
