Culturally Responsive & Socially Just Leadership: From Theory to Action
This book captures social justice leadership in action, extending the dialogue to the Canadian context. The empirical research provides compelling evidence on how school leaders and teachers can advance social justice to elevate student engagement. This insightful work provides reflective probes to deepen the dialogue with readers" - Professor Gaetane Jean-Marie Dean of the College of Education and Richard O Jacobson Endowed Chair of Leadership in Education, University of Northern Iowa, Usa.
"This book is a much needed resource for educators and leaders who recognize the need to do something about the persistent and ever-changing inequities in our schools and communities. Drawing on current research, as well as her own research and experience, Lopez provides readers with insights into how students, parents, and educators continue to be marginalized in educational institutions. She also deftly illustrates how educators and leaders can employ culturally responsive leadership and social justice leadership practices to counter these oppressive practices. Everyone who recognizes the need to make our schools and communities more inclusive and equitable places will find this accessible and informative book a valuable asset" - James Ryan, Professor Department of Leadership, Higher and Adult Education, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto
