SSTE 440 - Teaching for Social Justice

Upper Division

In this course, we will collectively explore what it means to teach for social justice. We will examine, analyze, and apply various critical theoretical frameworks in our respective classrooms and schools; engage in activities that challenge us to critically reflect on who we are (our ideologies, prior experiences, behaviors, attitudes, and actions); learn about how educators, cultural workers, and artists resist dominant ideologies to create the world they want to see through community programs, arts, and activism; and develop projects with our school communities that push against systemic inequality in our schools and communities. As a learning community, we will critically analyze how our diverse social positions and identities influence the way we see and experience the world.
