Teacher Education Department Chairs and Social Justice

Transformative Leadership through Inclusivity

Description

Teacher Education Department Chairs and Social Justice: Transformative Leadership through Inclusivity is a ground-breaking book that introduces teacher educators to the power of social justice teacher preparation programs. It highlights the importance and magnitude of developing teacher education programs that include a sociopolitical curriculum. The book adds value to the discourse around critical race theory in education by demonstrating how social justice discourses in teacher education can lead to more socially just teachers who can bring out the gifts and talents of diverse student populations. Included in the book is a discussion of how department chairs who lead social justice teacher preparation programs apply transformative leadership practices. The book offers a critical pedagogy to deconstruct dominant ideologies that permeate teacher education programs and provides strategies to effectively prepare teachers who can educate and advocate for historically underserved students, their families, and communities.
