National GSA Network's Educational Justice Workshop Series:
"Educational justice is based in the belief that all students should have the opportunity to go to school, graduate, and succeed. Right now, though, there are many barriers keeping students of color, LGBTQ youth, youth with disabilities, and low-income youth from having that opportunity to succeed in school." These resources were developed for Gay-Straight Alliances (GSAs), but can be adapted for general classroom use.
