Write about pedagogical foundations for social justice education
In your Mini-Essay, think about your own identity(ies) in relation to your intellectual development and education. Have you experienced the “traditional” form of education, which Freire describes as “banking education” (Adams 2016, 56-57)? If so, how has it shaped your intellectual development and the way you think about learning? Have you had learning experiences that seem to have been based on SJE principles? Describe one. How did it shift your perspective or world view, the assumptions you carry with you about yourself and the way you perceive yourself in relation to the context and culture in which you live and your approach to learning? Make sure you write an introductory paragraph with a thesis. In your essay, don’t forget to define the concepts you use from the reading, like “banking education” and ″social justice pedagogy.″ In your introduction, tell the reader what the essay will argue and foreshadow the three points you plan to make.
