Advocate for Students: Developing a Social Justice Orientation to Teaching

Back to NWP Social Practices: Advocate

How can teachers develop a pedagogy that builds on the cultural and linguistic resources that learners bring to the classroom as part of schooling that centers on academic excellence, advocacy for justice and civic participation?

Here you will find theoretical, practical and social resources that can help you and other teachers at your site understand why a social justice orientation matters, see what such a practice might look like in a classroom, and join others already organized to learn together about it.
