What can I do for the common good as an educator?
As a teacher I can do many things to improve common good. I can…
- Advocate for equitable access to quality education
- Advocate for my student and their voices
- Build understanding across diverse groups
- Champion student supports; recognize how trauma, learning disorders, basic needs access, mental health struggles or other barriers may undermine your students’ abilities to thrive academically and emotionally
- Remind students they have talents and responsibilities to positively impact local and global communities
These are just some of the thing’s teachers can do to improve common good and encourage their students to do so as well.
