This guide, developed by the American Psychological Association's Coalition for Psychology in Schools and Education and Ethics Committee is designed for educators and includes a self-assessment for students ages 12 to 18 to reflect on and improve their civil discourse skills. The tool targets five values related to civil discourse and their associated skills: (1) caring, compassion, kindness; (2) honest perspective taking; (3) humility; (4) integrity; and (5) mutual respect. Instructions and ideas for educators to help students use the self-assessment are included.
