A School Leadership Framework for Dual Language
2019
This chapter presents a social justice leadership framework for principals pursuing dual language education (DL) and focuses on schools serving Latinx communities. The purpose of this framework is to highlight the principal’s role in creating more equitable schools for Latinx emergent bilinguals (EBs) and to foster a multi-dimensional social justice perspective that focuses on closing achievement gaps while equally valuing meaningful parent engagement and the rich cultural and linguistic assets of students and their community. We focus on the principal not because we are arguing for a model of heroic leadership that centers the principal as the dominant change agent, but because research on DL and EBs has primarily ignored this important position.
