Civic Intelligence Empowering America's Youth
Author John Minkler, Ph.D., boldly confronts the existing education system, urging it to enhance youth engagement and tackle community challenges
TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, November 1, 2024 /EINPresswire / -- Set to deliver a visionary approach to civic education that reshapes how democracy is taught in K-12
schools across America, seasoned educator John Minkler, Ph.D. unveils his latest work,“Civic Intelligence: Empowering America's Youth .” Drawing on more than 50 years of experience, Minkler calls on communities and educators to
Teach pupils civic ideals, democratic principles, and systems thinking.
In light of growing polarization and dwindling faith in democratic institutions, Minkler contends that civic education as it exists now does not adequately prepare students to comprehend and engage in democracy. In his book, he presents the concept of "civic intelligence"-a guiding principle that empowers students to tackle community challenges and develop the skills essential for thriving in a democratic society.
Using practical examples from his long career, Minkler demonstrates how teachers can encourage young people to stop being passive observers of their communities and start taking an active role in them. His book offers dynamic strategies to transform schools into vibrant centers of civic engagement, empowering students to discover their potential and understand the significance of collaboration in tackling local and national challenges.
“I want educators, parents, and students to feel encouraged about our schools, communities, and nation.,” Minkler explains.“Youth-led civic engagement projects can focus on ways to improve our communities and to support responsible youth leadership. It becomes a rite of passage when students succeed in creating solutions to real problems. It demonstrates our national motto, E Pluribus Unum, working together as one."
John Minkler, Ph.D.'s book "Civic Intelligence: Empowering America's Youth" is an appeal to action for educators, parents, and community leaders to work together to develop an educational system that encourages civic engagement and a revitalized sense of optimism for the future.
