Is It "Just" A Methods Course? - Developing Elementary Teacher's Social Justice Advocacy Competency, Karyn A. Allee-Herndon

Georgia Educational Research Association Conference

This study/survey was born from the construct that social inequities have a long history in the United States and beyond, impacting our social, historical, and cultural growth, and our ability to create a welcoming community. This is a continuation of a study begun at another institution and will add to our understanding of how best to support teacher candidates in their preparation and development as advocates. This study uses a pre-post survey design using purposive sampling of teacher candidates in an elementary writing methods course.
