As Alexandra Delano prepared to moderate a civil discourse event for fellow students at Providence College in anticipation of the presidential election, some people quipped “good luck with that” or “you’re brave for that.” They predicted that the event, whose blue and red flier read “There’s an election in two weeks?

Engaging students is about more than just presenting content. It’s about creating an environment where they actively participate in their learning. This involves encouraging students to talk, debate, and collaborate with their peers, turning passive listening into dynamic interaction. By integrating classroom discussion strategies that promote movement, speaking, and listening, educators can foster critical thinking and deeper engagement with the material.

How often have you heard someone say: “I’m just not a math person?” People are reluctant to say they are illiterate but proud to share their low math identity. We tend to think of math as a subject that’s accessible only to certain types of people. But that’s a false assumption, and it’s holding back achievement for far too many students. With the right instructional approach, everyone can learn and do math.

Opening it up carefully, Susan was presented with material traces of a personal story her great-aunt Emmie Chester had only vaguely and fragmentally revealed.
