Learning for Justice is an education website that works to dismantle white supremacy, strengthen intersectional movements and advance the human rights of all people. This is done through providing support to educators and educational institutions regarding school culture and climate, curriculum and instruction and leadership. Through providing a free platform to access educational resources, a library of articles, guides, lessons, films, webinars, frameworks and more are available for educators, young people, caregivers and all community members to help foster shared learning and reflection regarding social justice education within the educational settings. As a teacher candidate, I thoroughly enjoyed the access to lesson plans that can be filtered by grade and topic, and include educator resources for appropriate ways to implement this overarching class theme and structure. These lesson plans can be added to a learning plan by creating a free account, making this an easily accessible resource for educators to gain insight and successfully backward design social justice topics woven into all aspects of the day.
Literature:
As I finish school and enter my career phase, I am continuously looking to grow and develop my teacher library, where I have an abundance of literature that provides engagement and love of reading, through incorporating social justice themes in the classroom. Below I have included grade-appropriate stories that have a social justice theme. These stories offer great opportunities for discussion, personal reflection and comprehension to understand not only what is happening, but what can be done and how we can make a change.
