After reading the assigned article I was still unsure of what social justice really was so I looked it up. The article I found was about the Social Justice Training Institute for students. The institution has been set in place in order to include all who participate and to improve their communication skills. The institute educates and encourages students on how to make positive changes on their campuses. They also need to find a mentor which has to be a faculty member at their college to help them on their personal and social goals. This article made the information directed more towards me, a student, rather than a current teacher.
The article we read in class was very interesting. It discussed topics that I have yet to read about. The pointers on how to become a good social justice educator were very insightful and shed light on objectives that all teachers should at least look into. I think that trying to at least implement a social justice approach to teaching is a great idea for all teachers and students. Everyone should get involved to make the best experience for everyone.
