Identity Crisis, Part 2

Students must develop positive social identities that lead to belonging in their respective social identity groups.

In this episode, we discuss five of the 20 Social Justice Anchor Standards, which help individuals develop positive social identities based on their membership in different groups. The standards encourage acceptance of multiple identities, accurate language, recognition of complex individuals, confidence in one's identity while respecting others, and understanding different cultures.

A more vital self-awareness and appreciation for diversity can be achieved by embracing these standards. How will you apply these standards in your classroom?
