Why is critique not more prominent inside contemporary journals of educational leadership? a problematic invitation
It is not enough just to encourage scholars to engage in critical commentary. As with typical journal submissions, specific guidelines are needed, along with journal editors’ willingness to mentor contributors. There are a number of scholarly dimensions needed if a field like educational leadership is to evolve intellectually: a reliance on historical knowledge; professional ethics that go beyond institutional IRB regulations; innovative research…
Underfunded, Misunderstood, and Underappreciated: A First-Person History of Faculty Life Inside an Urban Public University
Public colleges and universities are neither funded equitably nor perceived as being equal. This is especially true for those institutions serving urban populations, where the student bodies are understandably comprised of part-time, non-traditional, older, and first-generation students. In colleges of education, specifically, these graduate students are often full-time public-school teachers and administrators. This case study looks deep inside …

Embracing Indigenous ethics as collective voices and participation: New Beginnings for Educational Leadership
A Genealogy toward Methodic Doubts in Educational Leadership Research
In this critical narrative essay, titled A Genealogy Toward Methodic Doubts, I ask readers not only how and why educational leadership research(ers) detoured from the rigorous pursuits of truths, but also how and why I had missed the signposts which might have alerted me and others that our continuing practices, even with recognizing methodological limitations, were flawed. The empirical examples presented here come mostly from US policies, Weste…

Finding what sustains you professionally and personally: A response to the election of Donald Trump
For many US citizens, the election of Donald Trump was an event that will be etched into our collective psyche. As educational researchers, the challenge is how to prevent it from becoming an Event with a capital E. That almost 63 million US voters, many of whom have attended or graduated from public schools, supported Donald Trump makes the problem OUR problem. Thus, how to conduct more inclusive and expansive research is the first step followed…
A new world order? Finding a local place for educational leadership
In this critical essay, I ask how educational researchers will move beyond repeating critiques of neoliberalism and learn how to address on-the-ground events that disrupt neoliberal policies and practices. By deconstructing neoliberalism, I hope to challenge its fixed and almost transcendent status, and to offer curricular and pedagogical ways of knowing based on Dewey's philosophy of experience and social relations
Liderazgo para la Justicia Social: Pedagogías de Justicia Social
La relación entre el liderazgo educativo y la práctica de la justicia social ha comentando una segunda década con respecto a los estudios de investigación empírica. Ha habido tres agendas de investigación diferenciadas: la primera se refiere a los intentos por definir cuál es el significado de liderazgo educativo para la justicia social; la segunda es la búsqueda de descripciones claras de los comportamientos de los líderes que se ocupan de las i…
Moving beyond ‘diversity’ to ‘social justice’: The challenge to re‐conceptualize multicultural education
This is a study of teachers’ conceptualizations of multicultural education (MCE) and their implications for practice in both schools and university courses. Through survey and interview data, the results reveal that teachers associated multicultural education with demographic diversity rather than with social justice, strategies for instruction rather than with theory, and that patterns of communication within the school precluded school‐wide imp…

The Elusive What and the Problematic How: The Essential Leadership Questions for School Leaders and Educational Researchers
Radicalizing Educational Leadership: Dimensions of Social Justice
"What you will find inside this provocative text: It should come as no surprise, as the collection of papers in this book show that we are up against it. Killing those we despise has become normative in the political minds of both the powerful and the marginalised. Framing those who are weakest as the architects of their own disgusting state ... it has become commonsense in all societies, rich and poor.... Any counter-hegemonic project that seeks…

Radicalizing Educational Leadership
Conclusion: ‘What’ + ‘How’ equals ‘Whow’
Educational Leadership and Social Justice: Practice into Theory
In this article Dewey's conceptions of theory and practice provide a conceptual framework for understanding the moral and political possibilities of educational leadership. Specifically, the differences among craft knowledge, professional reflective practice, and intellectual activities are discussed. Through the use of historical illustrations, two educational leadership paths demonstrate connections between educational leadership and social jus…
In Pursuit of the Good Life: High School Students' Constructions of Morality and the Implications for Educational Leadership
In this interpretative study, the authors analyze the construction of three moral values in the context of inner-city high schools experiencing widespread poverty and racism. These values are trust, respect, and care. The authors demonstrate how the processes of social and discursive construction of morality differentially influence lived moral experiences for African American high school students from similar socioeconomic backgrounds. Differenc…
Moral Leadership Discourses in Urban School Settings: The Multiple Influences of Social Context
This collaborative research project began with two assumptions: (a) that the contradictions and differences within urban contexts create an environment in which moral practices are neither self-evident nor frequently actualized and (b) that leadership as primarily relational allows for the ongoing social construction of moral practices among urban educators. Thus, the study sought not only to understand constraints on moral practices within urban…
An Urban District's Knowledge of and Attitudes toward School-Based Innovation
A qualitative study of the sociometric relationships was conducted among high level administrators at an urban district's central office with respect to their knowledge of and attitudes toward school-based innovations. Analysis of data found little evidence either structural or behavioral ht personnel in this school district's central office had a clear understanding of what innovation is or of the complexity inherent in implementation processes.…
Investigating the Construct Validity of Scores from a Measure of Teachers' Participation in Decision Making Using Procrustean Rotation
As interest in teachers' participation in decision making grows, obtaining valid data to assess the effects of participation becomes increasingly important. One instrument, developed by Bacharach, Bauer, and Shedd, has been used in several recent studies of participation. Although the internal-consistency reliability of scores from this measure appears to be adequate, the construct validity of scores from the instrument has not been fully investi…
