During an age when many adults struggle to hold civil discussions about contentious issues, authors Kristina J. Doubet and Jessica A. Hockett argue that educators are in a prime position to teach civility. In this article, Doubet and Hockett outline three approaches for teaching students to take part in civil discourse, each approach with its own strategies--adopting roles or "lenses" for reading, viewing, and discussing; examining issues and claims from multiple perspectives; and developing support for different sides of a controversial issue.
