Webinar - Religion, Social Studies and You: Essentials of Dialogue
Tuesday, March 24
7:00 pm EST / 4:00 pm PST

This is part two of a four-part webinar series that will focus on ways to incorporate inclusive pedagogical approaches for addressing different faith traditions and cultures in the classroom consistent with the First Amendment. Based on Tanenbaum's Seven Principles of Inclusive Education and Face to Faith's Essentials of Dialogue, these webinars help teachers navigate the often difficult terrain of teaching accurately and sensitively about diverse religions and cultures. While each of the four webinars work cohesively, they also are beneficial as individual sessions.

This webinar will focus on introducing teachers to the Essentials of Dialogue - skills which are crucial as students articulate and share with their peers the meaning and significance of their own identity, culture, values, and traditions. Dialogue is a specific set of skills that can be introduced in the classroom as students learn about different religious/non-religious traditions/perspectives of the world. These skills give students the competence and confidence to engage in dialogue with those who have different world views, traditions, or perspectives. Students learn to explore and understand the similarities and differences of belief within a context of respect.
