Employing a social justice framework, this book provides
educational leaders and practitioners with tools and strategies for
grappling with the political fray of education politics. The
framework offers ways to critique, challenge, and alter social,
cultural, and political patterns in organizations and systems that
perpetuate inequities. The authors focus on the processes through
which educational politics is enacted, illustrating how inequitable
power relations are embedded in our democratic systems. Readers
will explore education politics at five focal points of power
(micro, local/district, state, federal, and global). The text
provides examples of how to "work the system" in ways that move
toward greater justice and equity in schools. Book Features:
Conceptualizes educational politics within a pragmatic social
justice framework. Examines the various layers of politics and how
they interact. Explains governance structures and policymaking
processes, such as policy formulation and implementation. Offers
insights into how power operates and how it can be invoked to
support the needs of struggling students. Explores why certain
values, needs, and ideas are heard while others are not.
