Teacher Activist in the Classroom: Part Two

Working in the summer is hard. You want to just forget about everything and enjoy the summer, but in the back of your mind, you think about how there are certain things you want to get done. Then when you're a mom, it adds another thing to your plate. Finding a balance can be hard! That's why I didn't post last week. So for this blog post, I'll tell you about what I will be using to incorporate social justice objectives into my lesson plans. In order to be an effective teacher, you have to focus on your impact not just intent. I am a whole to part person, meaning that I have to see the end goal first and then break it down into pieces or parts to get there. I am going to go into what I am using to guide me in figuring out the whole (end goal) and then move on to where these pieces will go in my class schedule and lessons.
