IICE workshops are designed for middle and high-school teachers interested in exploring deliberation as a method of instruction and in incorporating international issues in their classroom.
IICE workshops:
- Show you how to set up and organize a student-centered multiple-viewpoint deliberation.
- Provide materials and strategies for facilitating deliberation in the social studies curriculum, while meeting Indiana Standards and getting students to consider international perspectives.
- Sharpen students' active listening, critical thinking skills, AND move them to civic-based outcomes.
- Provide opportunities for cross-curricular teaching.
