Abstract	This Perspectives on Practice manuscript focuses on an innovation associated with "Engaging Teachers in the Powerful Combination of Mathematical Modeling and Social Justice: The Flint Water Task" from Volume 7, Issue 2 of "MTE". The Flint Water Task has shown great promise in achieving the dual goals of exploring mathematical modeling while building awareness of social justice issues. This "Perspectives on Practice" article focuses on two adaptations of the task--gallery walks and What I Know, What I Wonder, What I Learned (KWL) charts--that we have found to enhance these learning opportunities. We found that the inclusion of a gallery walk supported our students in the development of their mathematical modeling skills by enhancing both the mathematical analyses of the models and the unpacking of assumptions. The KWL chart helps students document their increase in knowledge of the social justice issues surrounding the water crisis. Using the mathematical modeling cycle to explore social justice issues allows instructors to bring humanity into the mathematics classroom.
