Leaders accomplish this by inspiring and uplifting others for the greater good; are inclusive and respectful of all; work in partnership, not out of competition; "their moral and ethical behavior are intrinsic components of leadership" (Shields, p564). Social justice leaders are humanistic by nature, which is why they value people as individuals and as part of a global brotherhood and sisterhood. This is why I strongly believe in advocacy for all forms of social justice. We must speak up for those who can't speak for themselves.]]> 2018-04-02 18:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/fraad31/4tmgkao51otm/wish/247902931 fraad31 https://padlet.com/fraad31/4tmgkao51otm/wish/247906743

Education and equity allows for society to flourish. My belief is that social justice leaders identify individual and collective weaknesses of those who are vulnerable and systematically marginalized in a community. Social justice leaders work to educate, build relationships, make connections and engage their constituents to become their own advocates who demand change, equity and equality. They disrupt the status-quo that fragments society and seek to rebuild stronger unified communities. ]]> 2018-04-02 23:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/fraad31/4tmgkao51otm/wish/247952146 fraad31 https://padlet.com/fraad31/4tmgkao51otm/wish/247953402 As Sergiovanni explains, “leaders must lead” but they must not forget that above all, leaders also serve others. Leaders are not only guiding a group, but also must acknowledge those who are inactive from part-taking in the cause; leaders take inventory of the task at hand, the abilities of their constituents and encourages those who have been discouraged in the past. It is my philosophy that leaders in social justice “rally the troops” with truth and hope in taking a realistic, solution-focused approach to long-term goals that are in the best interest of all (Dantley & Tillman, p.19). Social justice leadership takes responsibility for action and inaction and is open to grow from the experience of others. ]]> 2018-04-02 23:34:33 UTC https://padlet.com/fraad31/4tmgkao51otm/wish/247953402 fraad31 https://padlet.com/fraad31/4tmgkao51otm/wish/247956088 <sub>Dantley, M, E. & Tillman, L, C.

We must move from passive discourse and involvement to conscious, deliberate, and proactive practice in educational leadership that will produce socially just outcomes for all children" (Dantley & Tillman, p.31).]]> 2018-04-03 00:28:06 UTC https://padlet.com/fraad31/4tmgkao51otm/wish/247958430 fraad31 https://padlet.com/fraad31/4tmgkao51otm/wish/247959615 One way in which the servant leader serves others is by becoming an advocate on their behalf (Sergiovanni, p.277).]]> 2018-04-03 00:37:35 UTC https://padlet.com/fraad31/4tmgkao51otm/wish/247959615 fraad31 https://padlet.com/fraad31/4tmgkao51otm/wish/247961623  Transformative leadership begins with questions of justice and democracy; it critiques inequitable practices and offers the promise not only of greater individual achievement but of a better life lived in common with others. Transformative leadership, therefore, inextricably links education and educational leadership with the wider social context within which it is embedded (Shields, p.559). ]]> 2018-04-03 00:51:40 UTC https://padlet.com/fraad31/4tmgkao51otm/wish/247961623
