TITLE: Social Justice Curriculum Design for the Elementary Classroom
DATE: January 29, 2016
TIME: 8:30 AM-3:30 PM
LOCATION: Montclair State University-University Hall, ADP Center Room 1143
INSTRUCTOR: Bree Picower

This workshop provides a framework of social justice curriculum for elementary classrooms. The framework moves from students learning self-love and knowledge about who they are and where they come from and shift to learning respect for their peers different from their own. Students explore issues of social injustice, learn about social movements, raise awareness, and engage in activism. By designing curriculum around this framework, teachers support students to develop an analysis of oppression and tools to take action. This workshop is designed to help teachers visualize social justice education by providing examples of projects, making social justice in K-6 settings accessible, practical, and achievable. After creating a vision through examples, participants will collaboratively engage in beginning stages of curriculum design for their own classrooms.
