The EJATT is a comprehensive, 174 page tool for creating equitable, socially just K-12 schools. The first section is a Handbook that guides educators through concrete practices, indicators, and a plethora of examples and resources for achieving justice in 6 areas:
I. Educator Knowledge, Bias, & Beliefs;
II. Relationships & Climate;
III. Images, Celebrations & Events;
IV. Teaching & Learning;
V. Behavior & Discipline; and
IV. Policies & Procedures.
The second section is an Assessment & Planning Tool that allows educators to score themselves in each of the six areas, identify areas of growth, and plan next steps.
The final section provides an Appendix of resources and handouts to help make your plans reality, including our Guidelines for Dialogue; The LIST for Educators—our recommendations of what to read, watch, and listen to in order to grown your own social justice knowledge; the Justice Leaders “Standards for Justice” for best practices in teaching; A RIDE Lesson Planning for Social Justice framework; along with guidance about celebrating holidays and heritage months in socially just ways, picking socially just books, responding to racist incidents, and more.
The EJATT is the tool you have been looking for to take your DEI and social justice work from theory to reality!
