School Leadership and the Public Good: Reclaiming Community, Advocacy, and Justice

Tue, April 17, 12:25 to 1:55pm, Park Central Hotel New York, Floor: Mezzanine Level, Manhattan B Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

The proposed symposium advances the 2018 AERA Annual Meeting theme through a critique of traditional, managerial notions of K-12 school leadership preparation and practice. Presenters will examine, from multiple perspectives (school, district, community, and the field broadly) how school leaders navigate, mediate, and negotiate (Stovall, 2004) the realities of resegregation, corporatization, and community destabilization in an era of severe educational inequality and injustice. Panelists will share and discuss the ways in which new conceptualizations of education leadership grounded in theories of anti-racism, justice, and advocacy, might disrupt the reproduction of social, racial, and economic inequality in U.S. schools and society.
