UMaine professor co‑authors guide to teaching civic engagement

Robert Glover, an associate professor of political science and honors at the University of Maine, co-authored “ENACTing Change: A Handbook for Teaching Advocacy and Civic Engagement.”

The book introduces educators to the ENACT model — The Educational Network for Active Civic Transformation. It offers comprehensive support on how to incorporate this approach into curriculum and teaching methods across subjects, teaching environments and assessment practices.

The book provides detailed guidance to educators on how to develop and teach higher-education courses that engage students in advocacy for state-level policy, with a focus on assessing the learning outcomes that emerge from this work.
