A Personal Journey to Social Justice Leadership

• In Event: 66.050 - The Pedagogy of Collective Critical Consciousness: The Praxis of Preparing Leaders for Social Justice

Abstract

This paper will convey the combined personal stories of the cohort. To make sense of the data, themes will be identified and analyzed to draw connections between their lived personal experiences and the way they practice as educators. Data analysis will be guided by one overarching question: How have your personal experiences helped shape your philosophy of education, core beliefs and ideology?
