Jane Addams' philosophy of education transforming lives is a philosophy that can be applied around the world and throughout the ages.
Many of her social outreach programs at the Hull House in Chicago serve as the basis of many social work programs we have today.
The underlying principle to remember is that everyone can bring change to others simply by trying to help others.
When it comes to wondering how we can incorporate Ms. Addams philosophies, the answer is quite simple. We volunteer our time to charities and organizations that work for change.
As teachers, there are some simple ways to continue Jane Addams' vision in our classroom:
- Make an effort to be an active part in your children's community.
- Invite the families of our ESL and ELL students into the school and make an effort to show you are there to help.
- Don't give up!
As counselors, some things we can do in our schools:
- Do what we can to provide support to not just the students but to their families, too.
- Be aware of all the programs out there that can provide assistance to our immigrant families.
- Don't be afraid to try and pilot programs to help address the issues that are specific to our students.
