Educating for Democracy: What is Social Cognitive Domain Theory (SCDT) and why does it matter?

Educating for Democracy is a transdisciplinary initiative focused on supporting K-12 teachers and students grappling with issues of race and justice in their classrooms through civics education resources. This initiative was born out of a desire to merge what we know about human development
with what we need to know about the past to create a better future.

In this video, Dr. Larry Nucci talks about what social cognitive domain theory (SCDT) is and why it matters for schools and social justice.
