social justice!


The questions that i wanted to know about teaching for social justice, is what are the concepts behind it and what programs are in line to help handle it. Searching on the web i learned that teaching for social justice is a very big deal. it states in an article that i researched that social justice means recongizing oppression, and that it comes in multiple forms. There are various ways of taking action in the classroom to stop oppression. Some steps or strategies used is to address race, class, gender, disability, sexuality throughout all the levels of abilty in the class.
The way the teacher goes about dealing with all these issues make all the difference. Teachers have to be taught a way of dealing with these issues as well as being able to talk about it and handle it correctly with there students. Social justice is a big part of teaching and there are many stratergies put in to help prevent children from getting hurt by the idea of race and, disabilty, etc. I feel that educating teacher on how to deal with these things are a great way of going about it. Teachers need to know how to be able to deal with these types of issues, and its a good thing to know how to deal with especailly if as a teacher you have your own classroom
