Description
Summary:This book describes a model for educational leadership ethics that provides a critical, reflective vision of what education can be for all children in K–12 schools. The authors of Race-Conscious Caring in Educational Leadership conducted interviews with 22 school leaders who shared their visions toward serving students of color. The resulting model is built around the four features demonstrated by the strongest leaders, race consciousness, critical caring, justice leadership and ethical praxis. Race-conscious caring leaders go beyond their good intentions to develop deep understanding of the needs and interests of their students, they learn about racial identities and histories as strengths and sources of learning, and they provide opportunities for educational experiences that are routinely denied to marginalized and minoritized students. This book provides numerous examples of race-conscious caring leaders, with key analysis of where leaders fall short. It is designed to help future and current leaders to critically reflect on their own experiences, challenging them to build their capacity for transformative change.
