ED 561 Social Justice Pedagogies
Teachers have an opportunity and responsibility to teach students through pedagogies that sustain cultures and develop their students' advocacy for examining issues of social justice and working towards change. This course develops teacher practices of culturally sustaining pedagogies that promote social justice and explores ways to integrate them into academic content area curricula that reduce barriers within and between disciplines. Assignments require students to develop and teach content-based lessons at the intersection of culture and social justice linked to a clinical experience situated in city schools.
