This pathway focuses on teacher practice, in and out of school, as a form of advocacy. To illustrate the many faces of advocacy, we draw on curriculum units, teacher research pieces, essays, journal articles, webinars and digital media. The resources along this pathway will help guide site leaders as they plan and organize experiences that will help teacher consultants understand that a commitment to advocacy is a precursor to teaching and learning for justice and a pathway to conceptualizing new forms of leadership.
You can navigate this Pathway using the outline on the left side of your screen, or by using the navigation buttons on each page.
