Educational Leadership Through a Learning Sciences Lens: Toward Justice-Oriented School-Community Transformations

Tue, April 21, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Virtual Room

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium explores how educational leaders learn to author identities as advocates in solidarity with long marginalized and minoritized families, youth, and communities. Each paper draws on tools from the learning sciences to consider how educational leaders take up equity practices, utilize meaning-making artifacts, and engage social others in collective efforts to transform schools and communities. Our symposium bridges traditional silos within the field of educational research (learning and leadership) and offers novel conceptual and practical implications for educational leadership researchers, policymakers, and instructors. In alignment with this year’s annual theme, our collective work confronts past and present structural inequities in an effort to build toward more just and historically responsive educational futures.
