More Like US offers the following resources:
- The Perception Gap lesson plan / presentation includes a slide deck, one-page summary, relevant national and Mid-Atlantic state standards, and as-needed backup document. This is useful not only for high school government students, but also across subjects and ages, including for some middle schoolers, college students, and adults. It is designed to reduce anxiety about engaging in civil discourse, while leading to more accurate perceptions of each other across politics. (Note: A survey to test effectiveness coordinated by Georgetown’s Civic Education Research Lab is currently awaiting IRB approval.)
- Similarity Hub is a one-stop-shop to discover policy overlaps between Democrats and Republicans, and among supermajorities of Americans, built with AllSides. It is particularly useful for student journalists and journalism educators, who can integrate examples of common ground into articles and stories.
- We offer a detailed guide to existing Perception Gap data and resources.
More Like US offers these opportunities:
Email Info@MoreLikeUS.org for more information about any of them.
- For creatives and content creators, More Like US is working with Left-Middle-Right on the ReCAST Network, a program to train, provide one-on-one feedback, and build community among depolarizing content creators. Creatives make viral content that CASTs those across the political spectrum in a less threatening and more trustworthy light, as more Complex, Admirable, Similar, and/or worthy of Togetherness than expected. Researchers will test the effectiveness of the content. Please find a detailed presentation about CAST here.
- For teachers, schools, and universities, More Like US offers an opportunity to work together to deploy the Perception Gap lesson plan in classrooms and as a presentation to other groups of students, engage with journalism educators and students with Similarity Hub, and build connections with departments focused on topics such as arts or communication who can support depolarizing social media content creation.
- With other non-profits, More Like US seeks partnerships or opportunities to integrate the lesson plan / presentation, Similarity Hub, or ReCAST Network into existing offerings.
