Critical Practices for Social Justice Education is a resource guide to support K-12 educators in growing their understanding of social justice principles and integrating them into their practice. This revised edition is informed by the current social and political landscape and acknowledges the ways educators have been challenged by increased political scrutiny, censorship and debate about what can be taught in schools. Despite these challenges, educators across the country have renewed their commitment to inclusive, affirming and equitable education.
Stories are a deeply meaningful way that we learn about the world, and they can build empathy and understanding of ourselves and others. In each issue of Learning for Justice magazine, we review some of our favorite recent books. Our selections reflect diverse perspectives, affirm identities, celebrate diversity and highlight justice. This week, as a special treat, we’re sharing some of our best-loved books for growing readers and teens from the last few magazine issues.
