ELP 674: Diversity, Identity&Ed Leader
New complex contexts for the politics of inclusion in planning and in making decisions on how best to address issues of equity, given there is de facto segregation and or widespread poverty in the community or school(s) where the graduate students would be expected to function as leader; or that there are linguistic minorities, immigrants, and other historically marginalized groups present. They will examine the importance attributed to educational leaders for serving as models or mentors to others as well as the importance of emerging leaders to be more direct in addressing equity issues related to student achievement in schools. The course also seeks to examine the major themes centering on diversity and identity beyond the boundaries of the U.S.
