This report analyzes three contemporary social justice issues: poverty, domestic violence, and refugee resettlement, focusing on their implications for early childhood education. The report provides an overview of each issue, drawing on academic research and articles, including Gorski (2013) on poverty, Adelman et al. (2016) on domestic violence, and Wilkinson & Langat (2012) on refugee resettlement. It identifies pedagogical strategies and classroom resources suitable for teaching young children (3-5 years old) about these complex topics. The report emphasizes the importance of high expectations, building relationships with families, and employing social-emotional learning strategies. It also highlights resources such as computer systems, mid-day meals, self-defense lessons, and engagement in projects related to refugee policies. The conclusion stresses the need for educators to address these issues in a way that is accessible and relevant to young children, promoting understanding and empathy.
