Advocate
Issued by
Thomas College
The Advocate badge earner has engaged with notions of what it means to be equitable in a diverse environment. In addition to a framework of knowledge regarding equity, diversity, and social justice, badge earners complete an advocacy project and hands-on experience of their choice. They can articulate how this experience has impacted their worldview and professional mindset. The advocate badge standards are aligned with a subset of the Teaching Tolerance Social Justice Standards.
