Educational institutions, and in particular educational leaders, play critical roles in identifying and rectifying the many inequities that oppress, marginalize, and exclude individual students, educational actors, and some minoritized groups in Canadian education.Leading for Equity and Social Justice provides a deep look at some of these inequities and injustices and offers transformative leadership as one way for leaders to stimulate, support, and foster equitable and socially just practices in educational institutions. This collection emphasizes the systemic nature of inequality and supports the necessity of systemic change to target not only individuals but also structures, policies, and far-reaching practices. Focusing on various marginalized groups including the Indigenous community, LGBTQ2S+ peoples, refugees, newcomers, and specific groups of teachers chapters explore transformative leadership in practice and how to achieve inclusion, respect, and excellence in schools.Arguing that leadership involves much more than simply putting policy into practice, Leading for Equity and Social Justice promotes the need for leaders to recognize their role as advocates and activists.

Review

"Finally, an exceptional collection of essays on different aspects of transformative leadership by a varied group of Canadian intellectuals and activists who are very explicit at identifying the intrinsic injustices embedded in the colonialism and racism still present in the Canadian education system. The essays offer hope, as should be the case with genuine and robust critical education, since they go beyond critique and offer clear directions for a truly just education. Definitely a collection that should be read by all educators and policy makers."--John P. Portelli, Professor Emeritus of Social Justice Education, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto"A rare and valuable collection on educational leadership, this book rejects tired binaries of theory and practice. Grounded in Shields's compelling definition of transformative leadership, contributors speak to the most important educational questions of our time in a manner that maintains the vital integrity of thought and action in educational leadership."--Ann Vibert, Professor Emerita of Education, Acadia University" Leading for Equity and Social Justice provides a comprehensive overview of the persistent nature of social injustice and how educational leaders can use transformative leadership to ensure equitable schools and systems. The authors provide valuable suggestions for systemic change that are solidly grounded in theory, practice, research, and moral imagination. A must have for undergraduate and graduate courses focusing on equity, inclusion, and sustainable leadership." --Denise Armstrong, Professor of Administration and Leadership, Department of Educational Studies, Brock University

Long Description

Educational institutions, and in particular educational leaders, play critical roles in identifying and rectifying the many inequities that oppress, marginalize, and exclude individual students, educational actors, and some minoritized groups in Canadian education. Leading for Equity and Social Justice provides a deep look at some of these inequities and injustices and offers transformative leadership as one way for leaders to stimulate, support, and foster equitable and socially just practices in educational institutions. This collection emphasizes the systemic nature of inequality and supports the necessity of systemic change to target not only individuals but also structures, policies, and far-reaching practices. Focusing on various marginalized groups - including the Indigenous community, LGBTQ2S+ peoples, refugees, newcomers, and specific groups of teachers - chapters explore transformative leadership in practice and how to achieve inclusion, respect, and excellence in schools. Arguing that leadership involves much more than simply putting policy into practice, Leading for Equity and Social Justice promotes the need for leaders to recognize their role as advocates and activists.
