Charles Armstrong School’s mission is to unlock the unique potential of students with dyslexia and related learning differences, changing the trajectory of their lives.
An interactive workshop with Brian Fong, Program Director for Facing History & Ourselves, who will teach us the skills we need to navigate highly-charged topics.
We are not always equipped for difficult conversations. We may be able to share our views easily with those who agree with us, but how do we express our opinion while leaving room for someone else’s viewpoint? How do we ensure our discussions are rooted in reliable information and that we treat each other with dignity and respect while discussing potentially contentious topics? Engaging in civil discourse means bringing your mind, heart, and conscience to reflective conversations on topics that matter, in ways that allow you to extend your understanding in dialogue with others. It does not mean prioritizing politeness or comfort over getting to the heart of the matter.
You do more than just educate, you put your heart and soul into these children and we will be forever grateful.
