That question, though understandable, is ridiculous. It rarely comes from those who are actually tired from pursuing justice and not just tired of the idea."]]> 2019-04-03 01:45:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jordan_hohm/p15xmk8otue0/wish/347890939 jordan_hohm https://padlet.com/jordan_hohm/p15xmk8otue0/wish/347894778 Shields (2010) goes on to explain many practical strategies to work for social justice in one's school. She says that these leaders "act courageously and continuously to ensure more equitable learning environments and pedagogical practices for all children" (p. 584). I believe that leadership for social justice is all about weaving nets of support for students. Each of our students comes to us with varied resources and supports already embedded in their lives. It is critical that we recognize and validate these and that we work together with students, community leaders, social workers, counselors, health professionals, entrepreneurs, nutritionists, and more to provide broader nets of support that allow students to take risks and know that they have a community to lean back on.]]> 2019-04-03 02:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jordan_hohm/p15xmk8otue0/wish/347894778 jordan_hohm https://padlet.com/jordan_hohm/p15xmk8otue0/wish/347903601 2019-04-03 02:55:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jordan_hohm/p15xmk8otue0/wish/347903601 jordan_hohm https://padlet.com/jordan_hohm/p15xmk8otue0/wish/347906019 Leadership for social justice is that which is committed to democratic ideals and equity. Leadership for social justice recognizes every aspect of every student as valid and important. That which the student brings with them on the first day of school is valuable. A student's family, friends, and community are to be engaged. In her article "Educational Leaders as Cultural Workers: Engaging Families and School Communities through Transformative Leadership," Camille Wilson Cooper (2010) declares that "integrating an inclusive, culturally responsive, and collaborative approach to building school-family partnerships is a challenge for educators...because collaborations that are grounded in democratic and social justice ideals counter the culture of U.S. schooling" (p. 191). James Baldwin was right--that our schools have been and continue to be broken. But Micah Bournes was right, as well--that we never stop fighting for our own.]]> 2019-04-03 03:12:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jordan_hohm/p15xmk8otue0/wish/347906019 jordan_hohm https://padlet.com/jordan_hohm/p15xmk8otue0/wish/347920190 Cooper, C.
