Jazmín Mejía pasó directamente de la secundaria a lo que pensó que era la opción perfecta en la Universidad Loyola de Chicago, a 30 minutos en automóvil del barrio donde creció. Pero pronto se sintió abrumada en el campus del lado norte, que tiene casi 17,000 estudiantes. “Las clases eran demasiado grandes”, dijo Mejía, de 18 años. “Se me dificultaba pedir ayuda”.

As educators, we understand that true learning happens when barriers are removed and diverse voices are amplified. Recently, we took the stage at the American Educational Research Association (AERA) conference to share our experiences designing accessible conferences and events.

Feeling very much like an imposter, I was delighted to join scientists in the fabulous settings of St. Alban’s School to attend 2024’s Cog Sci Sci conference. I was very grateful to the organisers – for putting on an amazing event, with a real teacher-led discussion sense and a great buzz about the room – but also for encouraging and supporting people to come along and share, even if their last science was some decades ago now.

If you think about kids sharing a new toy, there is usually some type of conflict. For instance, both want the toy, but there is only one, so they must share. This disagreement leads to arguing, fighting, and tears. Honestly, this same situation can occur within the US Government.

Teaching civics and government is different from teaching history—it really requires a different set of go-to lesson ideas and projects. So, if you are brand new to the subject and need to know everything about how to teach civics, or you’re struggling to find ways to go beyond the textbook, welcome! It can also feel like sticking to the textbook and facts is the only way to teach civics during polarizing times, even when we know doing that is super boring.
