The essays offer hope, as should be the case with genuine and robust critical education, since they go beyond critique and offer clear directions for a truly just education. Definitely a collection that should be read by all educators and policy makers."--John P. Portelli, Professor Emeritus of Social Justice Education, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto"A rare and valuable collection on educational leadership, this book rejects tired binaries of theory and practice. Grounded in Shieldss compelling definition of transformative leadership, contributors speak to the most important educational questions of our time in a manner that maintains the vital integrity of thought and action in educational leadership."--Ann Vibert, Professor Emerita of Education, Acadia University" Leading for Equity and Social Justice provides a comprehensive overview of the persistent nature of social injustice and how educational leaders can use transformative leadership to ensure equitable schools and systems. The authors provide valuable suggestions for systemic change that are solidly grounded in theory, practice, research, and moral imagination. A must have for undergraduate and graduate courses focusing on equity, inclusion, and sustainable leadership." --Denise Armstrong, Professor of Administration and Leadership, Department of Educational Studies, Brock University Long Description Educational institutions, and in particular educational leaders, play critical roles in identifying and rectifying the many inequities that oppress, marginalize, and exclude individual students, educational actors, and some minoritized groups in Canadian education.
