Educational leaders confront instances of inequity every day,
whether they are aware of it or not. Many find themselves
inadequately reacting to such issues due in part to traditional
preparation programs that fail to interrogate the existence and
impact of systems of oppression. Why is naming and tackling
inequity not at the forefront of every conversation about
educational leadership? How do our social constructions of identity
hierarchies and deficits (mis)shape what leaders think and do? How
do leaders advocate for those who need and deserve advocacy? This
volume considers these questions and more by offering unique
leadership frameworks that integrate critical theories for social
change with everyday practice. By bringing together diverse
researchers, practitioners, and policymakers who are often pushed
to the margins, this volume will help today's leaders see with new
eyes and gain the critical tools, language, and concepts for equity
leadership. The text is organized into four sections: Transforming
Self, Transforming Educators, Transforming Organizations, and
Transforming Systems. Book Features: Interrupts prevailing
practices and advocates for a more inclusive, intersectional vision
of leaders and the field of educational leadership. Specific and
useful frames, concepts, and practices that leaders can adapt to
their own context. Authors that reflect diverse perspectives with
wide-ranging identities who intentionally push back against the
White male-dominated discourse. A practitioner-friendly format that
includes glossaries of terms and resources. Insights that reflect
the worldwide pandemic crises of 2020.
