Welcome
Our Goal
The Teach for Justice Lab aims to promote socially just teaching and socially just policies in the state of Vermont through teacher education, community partnerships, advocacy, and scholarship. We are hosted in the UVM College of Education and Social Services and are made up of a collective of UVM students, faculty, and partners. Together we collaborate to support social justice initiatives in K-12 schools, organizations that serve youth, and UVM CESS. Our lab engages in projects that are both initiated by UVM students and requested by community-based partners. With the goal of maximizing access and impact, we also share any resources and reports associated with our work via this website.
