Resources for Social Justice Education on NCMALearn
Teaching Tolerance’s Social Justice Standards are a framework for teachers and administrators to use in implementing an anti-bias curriculum and make their schools more just and equitable. The standards use the domains of Identity, Diversity, Justice, and Action to reduce prejudice and encourage students to take action. For this resource, we reviewed lessons and activity ideas that complement the standards and organized them according to domain. Some lessons and activities are listed more than once because they fell into multiple domains.
