In this episode, Maria Luisa Underwood unpacks findings from quantitative research with teachers based on their experience implementing the framework "Equipping Educators to Nurture Student Civic Advocates Through Social Justice Pedagogy.” You’ll find Underwood’s chapter on the topic in NCTE/Routledge's "Practicing Civic Futures" (Vol. 3).
