Teaching Social Justice
At My City School, we believe every student has the right to an education and to have their voice be heard. We know that many kids have questions and concerns about the state of our world, and that finding an answer for these questions can sometimes be challenging. For this reason, we wanted to share some of the tools we recommend for teaching important topics like Social Justice, Equality, and Equity to kids that you can use in the classroom or at home. Please explore and share them with your students to keep education proactive!
