According to Furman and Gruenewald (2004) social justice is a
critical-humanistic
role for school leaders. The critical-humanistic role is one that
(a) assumes that schools are inherently value laden, (b) engages
in an analysis of school structure for inequalities that result
from unequal power relationships, and (c) works to overcome
these inequalities.
After reading Chapter 8, closely Examine Table 8-1: Equality of
Opportunity Matrix. For this discussion, you will
Reflect on an educational program or school you have worked at
or have yourself attended, and describe where it lies on the
quadrant (the name of the school or program is not necessary).
Describe the characteristics of the school/program and explain
why those characteristics support your placement of the
school/program in a particular quadrant.
Through the lens of a school leader, discuss the importance of
social justice, social capital, and how both relate to equal
protection.
