DEVELOPING POLITICAL EDUCATION FOR ALL.
Upcoming Webinar:
Managing Controversial Political Issues in Schools - 27/10/25 - 15:30
Gaza, Charlie Kirk, immigration, and asylum hotels are just some of the complex and controversial political issues that are currently finding their way into schools.
Political issues provide an opportunity to discuss government, politics, citizenship, and democracy, but when not managed properly—or even ignored—they can cause division among students, tensions, disinformation, and even extremism.
Yet, teachers and school leaders are often hamstrung by the binds of political neutrality and a lack of confidence in either the subject matter or the techniques for facilitating a more constructive dialogue in their classrooms.
When appropriately managed, with expertise and experience in delivery, these issues can serve as a springboard for a more constructive and considered debate among students.
In this free live webinar, you’ll learn:
- How to know when controversial political issues have permeated your school culture and community.
- The impact of controversial political issues in schools, and how negatives can be turned into positives.
- How to identify and act in situations where controversial politics is causing problems in schools.
Teachers and leaders are doing a great job in educating students about the world around them, but many feel that navigating current politics is more complicated than ever.
Whether you are a teacher or leader, new or established, this session will prompt you to think critically about our political climate and its impact on us as educators.
