That definition is as simplified as it gets, but the idea of social justice has a lot more layers to it.]]> 2018-04-03 14:27:06 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248134391 etighe https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248135690 Social justice in education means creating a curriculum that represents all cultures and diverse groups of students. Social justice in schools requires districts to adhere to the ISLLC standards. These standards are not the end, however and have "historically fallen short of providing concrete guidance for school leaders" (M. Scanlan & G. Theoharis, 2015, p. 2). The school districts must also focus on creating leadership within the schools as a way of encouraging social justice.]]> 2018-04-03 14:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248135690 etighe https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248140802 "They chose not to eat."]]> 2018-04-03 14:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248140802 etighe https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248143749 Socially just schooling looks like:

1. educational opportunities abound for all students
2. ambitious academic goals are held and met by all students
3. when all students and families are made to feel welcome in the school community
4. when students are proportionately distributed across all groupings in the school
and most importantly (in my opinion)
5. when one dimension of identity does not directly correlate with undesirable aspects of schooling

As Thomas Sergiovanni (1992) says, "Virtually missing from the mainstream conversation on leadership is the concept of servant leadership" (Sergiovanni, 1992, p. 273). Children will learn when they feel loved. How better to show love than through service? This type of leadership inherently creates a culture of social justice. ]]> 2018-04-03 14:53:12 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248147401 etighe https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248151167 2018-04-03 15:00:23 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248151167 etighe https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248153043 2018-04-03 15:03:57 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248153043 etighe https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248154738 2018-04-03 15:07:05 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248154738 etighe https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248155825 What's it founded on?

White middle-class ideals and values are at the center of most agencies. This is a huge problem because not everyone has those same values and norms. "[there is a] tendency of educators to privilege the values, voices, knowledge and norms of white, middle-class families, thereby enabling this group to influence the educational process more than other families" (Wilson Cooper, 2010, p. 174).]]> 2018-04-03 15:21:45 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248162374 etighe https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248165890 2018-04-03 15:29:15 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248165890 etighe https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248166584

Me, as someone who is actively trying to represent all cultures and create socially just learning... what do I bring with me? More disturbingly, what do teachers who have no idea that they are projecting a white middle-class culture onto their class bring with them? What does their classroom look like? Most importantly, how do we combat this?]]> 2018-04-03 23:41:58 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248329182 etighe https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248329700

The statistics and stereotypes and killings in the name of the law are about and towards the babies that I go to school to protect and serve and teach every day. It's humbling, and also very upsetting. This is my "why." My babies are my reason for being so passionate about social justice and creating a socially just education system.]]> 2018-04-03 23:51:39 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248330479 etighe https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248331126 2018-04-03 23:56:23 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248331126 etighe https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248331383

It exists. It's real. These are two statements that a large majority of white people will still argue. But say I know it exists and I hate it. What do I do? I tell my students, and I believe myself, that one way to combat a privilege that you have that you want nothing to do with is to be an advocate and speak out. Be an ally. When you are being treated better than someone else, make it known that it is not okay. When you see someone being treated poorly, make it known that it is not okay. When you see someone standing up for their rights, stand up with them- join their cause because it's your cause too.]]> 2018-04-03 23:58:49 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248331423 etighe https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248331846 2018-04-04 00:02:45 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248331846 etighe https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248331883 2018-04-04 00:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/etighe/4xii2siv92aw/wish/248331883
