Dear Reader,
In today's climate of intense political polarization, students need guidance on
how to effectively communicate their ideas, think critically about what they hear
and see around them, and respectfully listen to someone else's opinions. While
it is not always easy to discuss controversial topics in the classroom, especially
when for many students politics have become deeply personal, it is important that
today's educators recognize the opportunities for engagement and learning (of
lifelong skills) in these discussions.
In this issue of CQ Press Connections, we focus on strategies to help you
create opportunities for powerful discussions in your classroom—discussions
that lead to effective political discourse, not political division. A few of the most
respected scholars in their fields and best-selling CQ Press authors share
insights on how to boost positive political discussion in your classroom, explore
how recent events are shaping student views about the Supreme Court, discuss
strategies for teaching students how to responsibly consume information, and
share how political trends have made Texas the nation's bellwether. You will also
learn about digital tools that make learning easier and more meaningful, while
saving you time. All because we know teaching isn't easy, and we are here to
help.
We invite you to explore CQ Press Connections comprised of these
compelling feature stories and our most recent and best-selling offerings. Please
feel free to contact us with any questions or comments. If you need assistance
selecting a textbook for an upcoming course, Customer Care is also available at
info@sagepub.com or at 1-800-818-SAGE (7243).
Sincerely,
HERE WHEN YOU NEED US
