He moved north to San Francisco. He kept on fi ghting for many types of people. He spoke out when people were mistreated. Some people consider him a civil rights pioneer. He fought for things long before others realized the justice and truth of what he said. —Antonio Sacre 909847_128723_UTS_G3_ Reading Cards.indd 13 909847_128723_UTS_G3_ Reading Cards.indd 13 Name: _________________________________________ Date: __________________________ Name: _________________________________________ Date: __________________________ Untold Stories 910000—Untold Stories—Bianca Jagger: More Than Meets the Eye © | Teacher Created Materials 910000—Untold Stories—Bianca Jagger: More Than Meets the Eye © | Teacher Created Materials Nations of Central America Directions: Both Nicaragua and Honduras are nations in Central America.

Management Guide Digital Resources Focusing on Research and Practice 11 © | Teacher Created Materials 126944—Untold Stories Management Guide Meet the Needs of Classrooms Today (cont.) Social Justice Standards Learning for Justice (formerly known as Teaching Tolerance) was founded to help teachers create “inclusive school communities where children and youth are respected, valued and welcome participants” (Learning for Justice 2021). Their work focuses on helping teachers and students learn about justice and how they can make changes in their communities. The Social Justice Standards developed by this group “represent a continuum of engagement in anti-bias, multicultural and social justice education” (Learning for Justice 2018, 2). The 20 anchor Social Justice Standards are organized into four domains. Each can be investigated further at www.learningforjustice.org. Research to Practice The Social Justice Standards were referenced by the authors as they wrote the text cards and lessons in this series. • Identity—Students discover their own identities and the identities of their peers. They learn to talk about individuality in a positive way. • Justice—Students recognize that there is bias and discrimination in people and institutes. They learn how to respectfully discuss these societal issues. • Diversity—Students learn to empathize with others, whether they’re alike or different. Through interactions, students will practice talking about diversity and interacting with others. • Action—Students begin to understand how they can recognize and respond to unfairness. 121 LITERACY Reading Comprehension
