We will discuss how writing social justice curriculum fits within a larger vision of social justice education and workshop a number of curriculum writing practices. The workshop will kick off a series of meetings and events to be held over the course of the school year with the intention of building a culture of writing and sharing radical, social justice curricula among educators in the greater New York City region. New and pre-service public school teachers are especially encouraged to attend, though all teachers are welcome.
