1. PROMOTION OF EQUALITY
"Social justice and human rights have a shared goal: human dignity, equally for all" ( Lea, 2017).

2. ANTI-DISCRIMINATION
"No one may be discriminated against because of their sex, race, religion, political opinion, sexual orientation or nationality in exercising their rights" (Lea, 2017).

3. WELFARE SYSTEMS
When citizens are unable to meet their basic needs, there are programs in place to help support them, such as: food, shelter, medical, etc.

4. EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS
Laws are in place for "health and safety standards, equal pay, working hour limitations, and the freedom to form and join trade unions" (Lea, 2017).

5. GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY
"Human rights provide a legal framework that allows individuals to hold government [accountable] and requires the state to create conditions necessary for the achievement of social justice" (Lea, 2017).

Take the focus off yourself and focus on the well-being of the student.

2. WORK TOGETHER
Working together with others can help start the movement for change.

3. BE YOURSELF AND FOLLOW YOUR PASSIONS
"It’s important that educators not focus on imitating other movements, people and voices...Doing what feels right for you maintains authenticity, which is critical when doing social justice and equity work" (Alrubail, 2016).

4. SPEAK OUT
We cannot be neutral or bystanders to issues of inequity and social justice...otherwise, we become part of the problem (Alrubail, 2016).

 5. BE A VOICE OF ENCOURAGEMENT
"We need to amplify, support and cultivate a culture of encouragement. The more we do that, the more we build toward lasting positive change" (Alrubail, 2016).]]> 2019-03-14 17:59:05 UTC https://padlet.com/tammyhelm2014/cwyuixht88vu/wish/341471054 MY PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIAL JUSTICE tammyhelm2014 https://padlet.com/tammyhelm2014/cwyuixht88vu/wish/341497397 Social justice and human rights, while not the same, are closely linked. Social justice is advocating for the basic human rights as outlined in Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In my opinion,  this refers to all people having access to the same rights and opportunities regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, etc. Model citizens and those of privilege have a moral obligation to advocate for those who do not have the capacity to do so for themselves.

Social Justice should not be confused with charity. While both benefit others, social justice has long-term effects which impact the future. Whereas charity has short-term, temporary effects which only solve an immediate problem or emergency.

  • "Integrating an inclusive, culturally responsive, and collaborative  approach to building  school-family partnerships is a challenge for educators not only because their professional preparation does not train them to do so, but because collaborations that are grounded in democratic and social justice ideals counter  the culture of U.S. schooling" (Cooper, 2010,  p. 191).

    • "If schools are to serve the common good and promote social justice, school leaders need the knowledge , skills, and dispositions to create schools that eliminate marginalization across multiple dimensions of diversity" (Scanlan & Theoharis, 2015,  p. 1).
