About the Book

How can schools shoulder some responsibility for depolarizing our fractured American society? In this provocative new book, Kent Lenci describes how educators can tackle the challenge of preparing students to communicate and collaborate across lines of deep disagreement—to face the political and ideological "other"—despite the conventional wisdom that schools should be apolitical. Topics covered include the causes and consequences of political polarization in our society, why schools must address the challenge head-on, bridge-building in the classroom, media literacy and social emotional learning as tools for depolarization, and partnering with parents across the divide. Each chapter offers current research as well as practical strategies and classroom anecdotes. Appropriate for teachers of all grade levels and subject areas, the book will help you reconsider your classroom and school’s role in forging a more depolarized future.

Review :
"Learning to Depolarize is thoughtful, constructive, and beautifully written—a terrific book. It makes a strong case for taking up these difficult issues in schools, and it will be very helpful to lots of folks." —Dr. Richard Weissbourd, Senior Lecturer at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and Kennedy School of Government "In Learning to Depolarize, Lenci offers all of us—educators and parents/guardians—a research-based approach to engaging the "other," those whose beliefs differ from our own. The education landscape has become the epicenter for the polarizing culture wars, and Lenci offers practical suggestions that stem from his own experiences in the classroom. This book is insightful, well-researched, straightforward, courageous, and inspirational. In short, this book is a must read!" —Bonnie J. Ricci, Executive Director, International Council Advancing Independent School Accreditation (ICAISA)
