The upcoming 2024 Presidential election may give rise to challenging but important conversations and hot moments in the classroom. Here are some resources to help you prepare yourself and your students for productive conversations. Some of these resources may be from the 2020 election but their principles and practices remain relevant in helping us cultivate learning environments that invite engagement with perspectives different from our own. This is a living document that will be periodically updated, including with links to our companion CAT Tips series. As always, the CAT is here to support you; we welcome you to make a one-on-one consultation with one of our ed developers or find community in one of our many workshops.
