The mission of Social Justice Resources is to provide social justice resources for teachers to use in K-12 Iowa schools. The resources have been built through the collaboration with faculties and graduate students in the College of Education along with colleagues at the Public Policy Center who work with Iowa City Community School District. This is a part of an Obermann Working Group.
