JoinPoint of View: Civic Engagement in the Science Classroom
Science educators are well-positioned to incorporate civic engagement into the classroom by the natural suitability of the subject matter. There are many ways that we may engage students in community matters to encourage civic involvement and broaden student exposure to issues of public concern. Most of us strive to be effective teachers, in part, by incorporating technology and using a wide variety of resources in the classroom. Current events are typically discussed with classes to make education more tangible and relevant to a student’s life.
