Constructing New Visions of Educational Leadership through Political Literacy

Sat, April 11, 7:45 to 9:15am PDT (7:45 to 9:15am PDT), Westin Bonaventure, Floor: Lobby Level, Los Cerritos

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium brings together six papers exploring political literacy as a critical and under-examined competency in educational leadership development. Each presentation investigates how leaders navigate, shape, and respond to policy, politics, and power within diverse and contested contexts. Drawing on national and international case studies, conceptual frameworks, and applied policy analysis, the papers explore leadership preparation, advocacy strategies, stakeholder engagement, and global-local dynamics. Together, these presentations offer new insights into how political literacy can be cultivated to equip educational leaders with the tools and dispositions needed to foster justice, civic agency, and democratic education amid intensifying polarization and systemic inequity.
