Issues in Teaching and Learning for Educational Leaders II

3 credits · Graduate

Our social identities affect our leadership stances and actions. Therefore, in this course, we will explore the roles that our socially constructed identities—race, class, and gender, particularly—play in how we experience and how we are seen in the US context. Specifically, we will look at how the systemic phenomenon of the supremacy of whiteness and its sub-system of white privilege affect each of our lives. And we will develop knowledge and tools to address those issues in our lives and our leadership. These are essential parts of working within schools to make equitable change.
