New Event! Discourse in Action Webinar
How Ideological Narratives Are Eroding Civic Values in K-12 Education and What We Can Do About It
How are ideological frameworks shaping the experiences of students, parents, and educators in today's schools?
Join Narrative Mindworks Discourse in Action for a conversation with Dana Stangel-Plowe and Sharon Sorkin of the North American Values Institute (NAVI), who will share stories gathered from classrooms and communities across the country. Together, we'll explore what these stories reveal about civic dialogue, dissent, and the culture of K–12 education in America today.
Dana Stangel-Plowe is an educator and attorney who serves as Chief Program Officer for the North American Values Institute (NAVI). She leads efforts to restore academic excellence, counter ideological extremism, and help K-12 schools stay centered on open inquiry and shared civic values.
