Resources
The Linguistic Justice Collaborative members seek innovative ways to ensure the curricular and instructional ideas and resources created with community members are made available for families, educators, schooling systems, and policy makers.

- Critical Conversation Cards: Spark conversation with others about language, language diversity, and language ideologies
- Classroom Posters
- Examples of language and linguistic justice task cards aligned to Georgia Standards of Excellence for English language arts
