Opportunities for Faculty/Staff
Here is a list of opportunities for Faculty and Staff:
Teaching Endorsement on Ethical Disagreement and Civil Discourse
Each semester, CEHV offers the Ethical Disagreement and Civil Discourse teaching endorsement program, in partnership with the Drake Institute for Teaching and Learning.
Workshops and Facilitated Dialogues
As part of its Civil Discourse for Citizenship initiative, CEHV offers skill-building dialogue facilitation workshops and workshops on using the 4Cs of civil discourse to navigate difficult conversations. Additionally, CEHV staff are available to facilitate dialogue about important ethical issues.
Our workshops and facilitated dialogue sessions are available for student programs, academic departments and non-departmental units, undergraduate student organizations, residence halls, groups of instructors, and anyone else interested in them. We embrace the opportunity to craft our workshops in response to the needs of members of our community.
Free Online Training on the 4Cs
By introducing the 4Cs of civil discourse — Be Curious , Be Charitable, Be Conscientious, and Be Constructive — this training will help you build civic trust through improved mutual understanding and shared problem-solving, even when you disagree strongly on contentious social and political issues.
It is free and open to everyone: students, educators, and citizens alike. We hope it will be useful for instructors who wish to provide a framework for civil discourse in the classroom.
