"Educating for Justice" teams award-winning principal Julia Bott with scholars Scott Seider and Aaliyah El-Amin to describe schoolwide structures and practices that prepare students at every grade level to challenge injustice and build a better world. Sharing research-backed strategies, concrete tools, and examples drawn from real schools and classrooms, they offer guidance on (1) Centering justice in curriculum and pedagogy; (2) Fostering powerful partnerships with families and community partners; (3) Engaging students in social action; and (4) Building adult capacity. Learn how fitting these principles together can prepare your school to develop or adapt curriculum that nurtures students' critical consciousness; collaborate with families and community partners to strengthen justice-based school practices; establish opportunities for students to participate in social action challenging injustice; and build adult-learning structures that cultivate educators' social justice knowledge and empower families to be partners in this work. Schools have a vital role to play in readying the next generation to challenge injustice and transform society--and this book is an indispensable tool to empower you and your students to lead that transformation.
