Diana E. Hess and Paula McAvoy argue that teachers will make better professional judgments about these issues if they aim toward creating \"political classrooms,\" which engage students in deliberations about questions that ask, \"How should we live together?\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBased on the findings from a large, mixed-method study about discussions of political issues within high school classrooms, \u003ci\u003eThe Political Classroom\u003c\/i\u003e presents in-depth and engaging cases of teacher practice. Paying particular attention to how political polarization and social inequality affect classroom dynamics, Hess and McAvoy promote a coherent plan for providing students with a nonpartisan political education and for improving the quality of classroom deliberations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Diana E.
