Social Justice Leadership and the Implementation of a Culture of Care

• In Event: Combating Oppression in Education

Abstract

This paper is an attempt to help school leaders take advantage of this unique moment in American history to reimagine, reshape and redesign public education in this country. It seeks to provide aspiring leaders, as well as more seasoned veterans, with a set of analytical tools to address, and more importantly, to lead through the complex questions, issues and dilemmas that schools and communities must navigate through in this “post-pandemic” educational landscape. The concepts and themes presented in the paper are selected to support the leadership development of educators seeking to move beyond traditional notions of school leadership, and to develop a school culture that has an Institutional Culture of Care (ICC) as it's foundation.
