Thinking Ahead: Preparing for Controversy
Abstract:This handbook provides guidelines to help school officials anticipate and manage controversy in the school setting. These guidelines are offered to schools to be adopted and modified for local needs. Issues covered include handling community controversy through policy development and review, recognizing and accepting different perspectives and addressing concerns; and controversy in the classroom as both a planned and unplanned teaching and learning experience.
