Motivation to Teach Social Action:
We are still developing the culminating experience for our four year, certificate-based Social Justice Leadership Program at Hanover College. The students can complete any major and fulfill this SJLP "minor" with a mix of required and elective courses. The final course will be taken in their senior year. In it, students will work in groups to complete a social justice project. A social action campaign may be a good fit; therefore, we are eager to learn more about implementing your model.
Course Description:
In this course, students will learn the skills of implementing a social justice project from vision to completion. Each year’s cohort will focus on two to three campus projects. Over the course of project implementation, students will work on the skills of writing grant proposals, preparing and monitoring budgets, competing for funding, creating project plans, implementing those plans, reflecting on project successes and failures, and assessing the achievements of their plans.
