👏 Congrats to David Edelman, Union Square Academy (NY), finalist for BRI’s National Civics Teacher of the Year! His classroom is a “laboratory for civic engagement.”

Had to share the most heartwarming use of AI I’ve seen yet.
A teacher made AI-generated images of her students as adults living their dream careers (ex: astronaut, football player, cartoonist, veterinarian) 🫶

Students from Union Square Academy recently expanded an innovative exhibit in their school library that explores the history of their 110-year-old building, the Washington Irving High School campus.
Learn more from students who helped build the exhibit in our Civics Spotlight!

Civics class shouldn't just be about the nuts and bolts of government - it should show students how they can build a sense of agency and belonging in their local communities.
My students @usahsnyc had a great time sharing our #actioncivics project to @nyclandmarks & elevate @NYCSchools history w/ our neighboring elementary school cwsnyc.org. See our exhibition @IrvingCampusLib @District1NYC & @manhattanhs @Civics_For_All @gencitizen

The highest level of Blooms Taxonomy is standardized testing ability. No wait it is: Create!
As in creativity. Something children begin to learn when given time for unstructured play, recess, and active learning.

Really shady that @NYCSchools increased the number of allowable people in classrooms w/ out any discernible change to public health recommendations... showing that we can’t trust them to keep us safe.👇

I join the @UFT calling for future school opening decisions & protocols to be made and signed off by licensed health professionals rather than politicians and bureaucrats. We’ve already paid a heavy price for government leaders not following health guidance sooner. – at Brooklyn, NY

Powerful to start the morning Union Square Academy discussing the power of @gencitizen #ActionCivics. Teacher David Edelman hit the nail on the head when he said that Action Civics is “real!”
