This book explores the stories of department chairs who led teacher-preparation programs framed around social justice and inclusivity. Smith-Gray develops a road map on how to effectively lead these programs that produce educators who educate and advocate for underserved students, their families and their communities.

Teacher Education Department Chairs and Social Justice: Transformative Leadership through Inclusivity is a ground-breaking book that introduces teacher educators to the power of social justice teacher preparation programs. It highlights the importance and magnitude of developing teacher education programs that include a sociopolitical curriculum. The book adds value to the discourse around critical race theory in education by demonstrating how social justice discourses in teacher education can lead to more socially just teachers who can bring out the gifts and talents of diverse student populations. Included in the book is a discussion of how department chairs who lead social justice teacher preparation programs apply transformative leadership practices. The book offers a critical pedagogy to deconstruct dominant ideologies that permeate teacher education programs and provides strategies to effectively prepare teachers who can educate and advocate for historically underserved students, their families, and communities.

Jocelyn D. Smith-Gray is adjunct lecturer of early childhood and elementary education, middle grades reading, and special education at Fayetteville State University.
