Using the experiences and words of seven public school principals who came to the field of administration committed to advancing social justice in their schools, this book presents a framework and 7 'keys' to social justice leadership (SJL).
George Theoharis draws on the experiences and words of successful public school principals committed to advancing equity, social justice, and school reform to show why social justice leadership is needed and how it can be effective. Although facing tremendous barriers, these principals made important strides toward closing the achievement gap in their schools through the use of humane and equitable practices. Featuring a mix of theory and practical strategies, this timely book portrays how real school leaders seek, create, and sustain equitable schools, especially for marginalized students.
The author identifies seven “keys” that are crucial for social justice leadership:
Key 1: Acquire Broad, Reconceptualized Consciousness/Knowledge/Skill Base
Key 2: Possess Core Leadership Traits
Key 3: Advance Inclusion, Access, and Opportunity for All
Key 4: Improve the Core Learning Context - Both the Teaching and the Curriculum
Key 5: Create a Climate of Belonging
Key 6: Raise Student Achievement
Key 7: Sustain Oneself Professionally and Personally
