Leadership for Educational Justice

When systems-focused leaders demonstrate leadership for educational justice, they facilitate collective action to transform systems to become more liberatory, in partnership with student, families, communities, systems-based educators and other stakeholders.

To do so, they:

1a) Explicitly model critical and continuous self-reflection about their own leadership and intersectional racial identities in ways that reflect changes in their practice to intervene in systemic inequities.

1b) Foster collective action to disrupt and decrease race, class, language, culture, disability, gender, sexuality, citizenship and other group-based disparities and to ensure that the needs , interests , and assests of non -dominant students are central in change efforts.

1c) Transform power and engage conflict ethically in decision-making with (not for)students, families communities and other educators
