ACTISM! How to Ask Students to Engage with the World Outside the Classroom

M. Nelson

4:30 pm - 6:00 pm

Abstract

I have spent over Twenty years exploring social activism in the classroom through project-based learning. This presentation will talk about how students have changed over that time, why it is still essential to ask them to continue to see the world outside of themselves, and how they might seek to change it for the better.
