Social and Economic Justice

---

One of the places to begin on this issue is with the "Just Choices: Exploring Social Justice Today"  whose goal is to assist teachers in encouraging students in grades 6-12 "to explore new ideas and reevaluate old ones while developing a strong understanding and appreciation of historical and contemporary social justice movements.... Through this program, students will learn how their everyday choices affect others in society and will be inspired to take on issues with passionate civic engagement."  In this valuable website you will find a teacher's guide, worksheets, and posters as well as resources for both teachers and students?  

In the words of one "satisfied user: "Just Choices" creatively and light-heartedly introduces young people to important social justice issues and effectively makes connections to all forms of injustice and oppression. It provides educators with all of the tools they need to engage students in powerful education: informing about what happens behind-the-scenes; promoting critical and creative thinking, respect, reverence and responsibility; and empowering through humane and sustainable choices."
