Description
The development of a trusting community of learners is vital for critical, inclusive, culturally conscientious social studies teaching. Critical, community-minded social studies teachers work to create meaningful relationships among their students and with themselves (Nieto, 1999). Understanding how to relate to others in a diverse group is preparatory to developing more complex social relationships as a member of a larger democratic society. Community as an element of critical praxis infuses learning with the emotional sentiments of care and respect. Furthermore, incorporating student experience and relating to students as individuals is an essential of culturally relevant pedagogy (Ladson-Billings, 1997). This foundation offers students with a supportive and safe network to explore the challenging content topics in the social studies classroom.
