Teaching – Civic Skills

James Nau: History Teacher, Lakeside School

James Nau speaks to the ways in which teaching demands an ability to foster connections with others. As one of the organizers of this project, Nau comments on the connections between teaching, civic life, and collaboration in community. In particular, he emphasizes the ways that teaching provides opportunities to introduce students to both the systems of our society and the tools that enable them to connect and contribute.
