Social justice pedagogy refers to an educational approach which promotes equity, inclusivity, and fairness within the educational system. It is rooted in the belief that education should not only focus on academic achievement but also address issues of social inequality and injustice. Social justice pedagogy aims to create learning environments that empower students from diverse backgrounds, challenge systemic barriers, and foster a sense of social responsibility.
Designed for educators passionate about fostering inclusivity, this course delves into innovative teaching approaches that empower students and promote equity. From addressing bias in instructional materials to incorporating diverse voices into lesson plans, this course equips educators to make a lasting impact on social consciousness. Join us in redefining education as a catalyst for positive social change.
In this course, we’ll:
- understand the growing need for social justice pedagogies to address issues of social inequity and injustice and empower all students
- look at practical techniques which encourage students to critically analyse, question and disrupt societal norms, structures and power dynamics; integrating diverse perspectives & voices
