EDU 575 - Social Justice in the American Classroom
This course explores systems change through the prism of school discipline, employing co-production and restorative practices to add youth courts to the toolkit of class participants. The course will focus on the five core values of Edgar Cahn's groundbreaking time banking model: 1) Everyone has something to offer; 2) Building home, neighborhood and community is crucial work that must be valued; 3) Helping gains strength when receivers of help can contribute in turn; 4) People are stronger as a community, and; 5) Each and every person deserves respect for their core humanity.
