What is it?

We criticize and resist all the powers and patterns in the world (including the patterns in our own lives) that destroy human beings and corrode human community and seek to celebrate and foster patterns and powers that allow human being to flourish.

Starting Questions

1. Are there real-world problems that could be addressed in and through my curriculum - maybe using Project-Based Learning?

2. Are there any justice-seekers (present or in the past) who could be lifted up as models in my discipline - whose story should be told?

3. In what ways does my subject matter reveal the brokeness and the injustice of this world? In what ways can my subject matter be used to bring glimpses of justice or shalom.

4. Here at school, could seeking justice mean standing up for others in positive ways? How could this happen in my class?

5. Are there students who I write off? How can I give them their full due? Perhaps motivation is the best way to give them justice.

6. What type of word problems do I use in my class? Could I give students questions that are about solving justice-related issues?

The following is a list of teacher-generated ideas of ways that this practice could be implemented in the classroom or school culture.
