Students are just starting to understand their social identities in 6th grade. We want to help all students become socially and personally aware and help guide students to accept the ways in which they are privileged and to use that privilege to propel all people forward. As they work to become allies, we can help them become agents of social justice. This course is a grant funded pilot of a social justice oriented project block during which students explore their own identities, observe our community, and complete a project to make our community more equitable. After piloting this, we hope to support other teachers in our school as they work towards social justice project blocks.Attended Free Minds Free People conference in July 2019
