This 60-minute webinar from UC Berkeley 21CSLA includes a robust research- and practice-based discussion on “educating for a diverse democracy.” Based on the California context, Dr. Rogers offers research seeking to understand how political conflict impacts public high schools and their leaders; his key findings include that political conflict is pervasive and growing, that political division and community conflict shape student interaction, that a number of California students face hostility and intolerance in schools, and that California educators do appear to be responding differently than educators nationwide. In response to these findings, two practitioners in the state, former Superintendent Kelly Bowers and Principal Mauro Bautista, offer their own insights and suggestions for educating in increasingly partisan and politically contentious environments while remaining focused on supporting students. School administrators, district leaders, and education preparation programs considering similar issues may be particularly interested in this resource.
