Saw this on my twitter PD group and and throught it was valuable:

Tip #3: "Base your curriculum on social justice. Frame it with a critical edge. I have 4 questions for assessing my curriculum: 1) Does [it] deepen students' understanding of social justice? 2) Is [it] rigorous? 3) Are the students learning skills they need to be critical thinkers, advance their education, be prepared for employment, and become active citizens? 4) I am also now forced to ask the question: Does the curriculum increase students' ability to do well on ... standardized tests?"
