Social justice education provides the central theme of the program. Foundational learning about multicultural diversity and issues of equity as they occur in the world is intended to help WEL students gain new perspectives on their essential task as educators and to help them learn to incorporate lessons in global social responsibility into their daily work in the classroom in all subject areas. Approximately 20 applicants will be accepted.
