What Kind of Citizen (or Teacher) Will You Become?
The Civic Mirror is a new and innovative education program that turns the old rules of teaching and learning on their head. To date it’s been used by over 50 educators across the world – with over double that amount slated to use the program this upcoming year – and the educational dividends have truly been amazing.
As exciting as The Civic Mirror can be (with stories of ‘unlikely’ students arriving early and not wanting to leave class; or students logging into civicmirror.com on weekend nights to talk politics and economics with teachers and classmates; or students arriving at staggering insights and reflections about life, human nature and our social systems and structures), the program can be overwhelming for first-time educators. It requires teachers and professors to let go of “the classroom reigns” to a certain extent, to have faith in their students and the experience, and to capitalize on the endless teachable moments it provides.
CLASSROOM VIDEO SERIES WILL HELP YOU PLAN & PREPARE
To help educators (and students) get the most out of their Civic Mirror experience, we will be showcasing The Civic Mirror’s main events in a Classroom Video Series starting next week. The classroom video series will include 20 episodes in total, showing how the program transforms classrooms into countries and students into citizens. Five episodes will be posted each week (from Monday to Friday) starting Monday, August 10th and ending Friday, September 4.
