Educational Leadership highlights the various ways in which
educational leaders can implement school policies and practices to
alleviate pressing and persistent academic disparities rooted in
structural inequalities. Informed by theoretical approaches to

concrete. In doing so, these authors provide a vision of
possibility aimed at equitable schooling for educational leaders to

justice in schooling is a compelling imperative.
