The Shakespeare and Social Justice Initiative offers an urgent and innovative curriculum with principal and teacher training that illuminates Shakespeare’s text through social justice principles, with a particular emphasis on encouraging Action against bias.While it is aligned with traditional standards-based study of Shakespeare, it draws upon SCLA’s decades of award-winning, nationally recognized social justice informed arts-based teaching strategies that incorporate human relations work designed to raise social awareness, advance anti-racist values and actions, and support pro-social youth development among low-income, disadvantaged youth attending Title One schools. Investment in arts education is an investment in justice.
