There was consensus across all demographic groups that the most important civil behaviors were the ability to successfully manage conflicts with others and the ability to respond respectfully to the opinions of others. The most prevalent uncivil behavior reported by the teachers was the use of sarcastic remarks to others followed by blaming others for their own negative actions. Focus groups with high school students were held on the same topic. Findings demonstrated similarities and differences between teachers and students and their perceptions of civility.  \nKeywords: Teacher motivation, teacher development, distance education, teacher leadership, teacher education  \nStatement of Purpose  \nOur public-school system has the potential to nurture the attitudes, values, and behaviors that promote a democratic and civil society. Schroeder observed that “Americans have long viewed public schools as the primary site of moral and cultural development”(Schroeder, 2017) . Today, there are many evidences of the need for civility. In a 2013 survey, 98% of employees surveyed reported that they have experienced uncivil behavior in the workplace (Porath & Pearson, 2015) . Classroom teacher Justin Parmenter also noted the decline in civility as evidenced by student behaviors in public schools today (Parmeter, 2018) . Political commentators, too, lament the lack of civility in our public discourse today (Levine, 2010) . On all fronts in our society, the need for greater civility is demonstrated.  \nLiterature Review  \nHistory  \nCivility has been a common theme throughout our history. Our Founding Father George Washington at age 16 penned 110 rules for civil behavior. Washington's rules included: \"Every action done in company ought to be with some sign of respect to those present.” and “Speak not injurious words, neither in jest or earnest; scoff at none although they give occasion.”(Washington, 1744, 2008, p. 9) .  \nTwo centuries later, John Dewey addressed the importance of civil behaviors in our society. He argued that civility is more than ordinary morality. Rather, Dewey maintained that the  \nkey to civility is to engage one’s personal interest and reflection; thereby developing an “inner morality”(Dewey, 1916, 2009) . Megan Laverty (2009) more recently explored the philosophical underpinnings of civility in her article, Civility, Tact, and the Joy of Communication. She posited that civility has aesthetic-ethical significance. Civility, she suggested, is not simply social niceties, but a profound set of behaviors that facilitates meaningful human interaction and exchange (Laverty, 2009) .  \nDefinition  \nMany researchers have defined civility. Moore (2012) defined civility as the knowledge, attitudes, values, habits, and behaviors that are central to maintaining a healthy, diverse and dynamic society. He also suggested that civility is predicated on the belief that all human beings are of equal moral worth (Moore, 2012) .  \nThe National Council for Social Studies also addressed civility in the organization’s National Curriculum Standards for Social Studies. Under the Civic Ideals and Practices theme, the NCSS called for an “understanding that civic ideals and practices are critical to full participation in society and that understanding is an essential component of education for citizenship, which is the central purpose of social studies”(National Council for the Social Studies, 2017 , para. 10) . Wilkins, Caldarella, Crook-Lyon, and Young (2010) referenced the Latin roots of the word, civics (citizen) and civitas (city) to demonstrate the relationship of civility and society. In their study, they defined civi","cbCaiuh00D46IV3n","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiuh00D46IV3n","pdf",266013,"English","# Abstract\n# Statement of Purpose\n# Literature Review\n## History\n## Definition\n## Need for Civility\n## Constraints to Promoting Civility","[{\"question\":\"What civil behaviors did teachers consider most important for students?\",\"answer\":\"Teachers emphasized managing conflicts with others and responding respectfully to the opinions of others.
