    Elementos para el análisis de la discapacidad desde la perspectiva de la vulnerabilidad social
    (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Grupo de Investigación "Cambio Educativo para la Justicia Social" (GICE), 2014-12) Pérez-Castro, Judith
    En este artículo se expone el proceso de construcción de una propuesta para analizar la discapacidad desde la perspectiva de la vulnerabilidad social y se deriva de un proyecto cuyo propósito es estudiar los saberes extraescolares que las personas con discapacidad adquieren a través de los diferentes agentes y procesos de socialización, en especial, las instituciones educativas. Se parte de tres pilares fundamentales: la Clasificación Internacional del Funcionamiento, la Discapacidad y la Salud (CIF) de la OMS, las dimensiones que intervienen en la interacción humana y la vida social, y la relación entre vulnerabilidad, pobreza e inclusión-exclusión. El propósito es situar nuestra propuesta en el marco de otros modelos que, al igual que en nuestro caso, entienden a la discapacidad como un problema socialmente construido así como valorar las posibilidades que nos ofrecen para acercarnos a las diferentes experiencias de la discapacidad.

    O mérito e a mito da democracia racial: Tópicos de uma discussão
    (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Grupo de Investigación "Cambio Educativo para la Justicia Social" (GICE), 2014-12) Silva, Alexandre Rocha da; Valle, Julio César Augusto do
    Dedicamo-nos a refletir em que medida a educação incorpora as ideologias provenientes da suposta democracia racial brasileira em suas práticas e discursos. O modo como tais ideologias repercutem nas escolas é examinado com referencial situado em Freire e Russell. Nossa discussão situa-se na abordagem, em um primeiro momento, histórica, das realidades sociais que produziram as condições perniciosas de vida do negro e do mulato no Brasil. Evidenciamos o modo como tais ideologias orientam o discurso e a prática educacionais como tentativa de apresentar as mistificações às quais os educadores devem manter-se atentos. Concentramo-nos na conjugação da ideologia do mérito com o mito da democracia racial e também nos resultados perniciosos que tal articulação promove dentro das escolas e fora delas. Deslindamos o artigo com a conclamação dos educadores críticos comprometidos com a justiça social à crítica das pretensas verdades encerradas pelo capitalismo por meio do enfrentamento das mistificações que impregnam o cotidiano das escolas

    Why the leadership and management divide matters in education: the implications for schools and social justice
    (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Grupo de Investigación "Cambio Educativo para la Justicia Social" (GICE), 2014-12) Thorpe, Anthony
    Talk of school leadership has become highly significant in the context of current education policy developments and discourses in many parts of Europe and the Americas. This article seeks to explore why the leadership and management divide matters in education and what the implications for schools and social justice are. The article makes a contribution to the understanding of the concepts of leadership and management through identifying that the increasing obsession in education with leadership, and denigration of management, is firstly based on a decontextualized conception of what is means to run educational organizations and systems; and that this decontextualized view of leadership has no concern for, or capacity to address, matters of social justice. A historical approach is used to analyse the particular meaning of the divide of leadership and management in education before going on to draw on theoretical analyses of problems with the sharp division between leadership and management and the critiquing of ‘leadership’ as a concept. It is argued that a very different understanding of what it means to lead schools is needed in order to cultivate and sustain a better education systems and organizations to promote social justice

    Successful leadership practices for schools in challenging urban contexts: case studies
    (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Grupo de Investigación "Cambio Educativo para la Justicia Social" (GICE), 2014-12) Madalińska-Michalak, Joanna
    This paper examines some of the key aspects of successful leadership practices for schools in challenging urban context. The research question for this paper is: “What are the key aspects of successful leadership practices used by headteachers in schools in a highly disadvantaged urban context?” The study is based on a qualitative case study approach with a comparative perspective. In the study a purposeful sampling approach was adopted. In order to answer the research question multiple methods of data collection were used. The research findings show three following development phases common to the studied schools and successful leadership practices corresponding to those phases: (i) Creation of reliable foundations: toward new qualities; (ii) Building a culture of concern and achievement; and (iii) Searching for synergy: stabilization and consolidation. Teachers’ leadership and building the educational partnerships are especially important practices within the phase: “Searching for synergy: stabilization and consolidation”.

    Applied critical leadership through latino/a lenses: an alternative approach to educational leadership
    (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Grupo de Investigación "Cambio Educativo para la Justicia Social" (GICE), 2014-12) Santamaría, Lorri J.; Santamaría, Andrés P.; Dam, Lincoln I.
    The aims and objectives of this research were to investigate and better understand ways in which race and gender play out as differences of significant consequence in applied leadership practice. Utilizing qualitative case study methodology coupled with counter-story, a critical race theory approach, the authors analyze data on two Mexican descent educational leaders in the US: one Latino K-6 principal and one Chicana university Dean. Findings indicate evidence supporting positive identity leadership traits as practiced through raced and gender lenses, resulting in effective socially just and equitable leadership outcomes for the participants in the study. These findings are new and particularly relevant as demographic shifts in the US and the world include high numbers of Latino/a and Mexican descent individuals. The strategies employed by participants suggest subaltern ways of educational leadership not previously considered in research and literature. The authors discuss evidence of characteristics supporting applied critical leadership (ACL), an emerging leadership theory, in the leadership practices of the participants. Finally, mainstream implications and guidelines are provided for application in multiple educational leadership contexts

    El equipo directivo como promotor de buenas prácticas para la justicia social: hacia un liderazgo inclusivo
    (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Grupo de Investigación "Cambio Educativo para la Justicia Social" (GICE), 2014-12) Gómez-Hurtado, Inmaculada
    El presente artículo describe parte una investigación cualitativa realizada un centro de Educación Infantil y Primaria considerado como promotor de buenas prácticas para la justicia social desde un enfoque inclusivo. Para ello, hemos realizado un estudio de caso en dicho centro utilizando como instrumentos las entrevistas, observaciones y análisis de documentos teniendo como objetivo analizar, describir, contrastar e interpretar la gestión de la diversidad y las buenas prácticas directivas inclusivas del equipo directivo de un centro público de Educación Infantil y Primaria de la capital de Huelva acogido al Plan de Educación Compensatoria. Para ello, durante un curso académico hemos sido espectadores y participantes de la realidad educativa propia del centro. Hemos visto como la apuesta por un proyecto de dirección basado en la colaboración e impulsado por la ilusión de construir una escuela para la justicia social lleva consigo la respuesta adecuada para atender a las necesidades de todo el alumnado. Así, hemos concluido que el liderazgo inclusivo conlleva la apuesta por un liderazgo distribuido y colaborativo abierto a la comunidad educativa, una cultura colaborativa, una organización de centro y de aula abierta al entorno y una serie de características necesarias en las personas que trabajan en el centro educativo, especialmente, el equipo directivo.

    Culturally relevant education and critical pedagogy: devolution of hierarchies of power
    (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Grupo de Investigación "Cambio Educativo para la Justicia Social" (GICE), 2014-12) White, Robert E.; Cooper, Karyn; Mackey, Wendey
    This article considers two educational strategies that serve to empower students by responding more authentically to student needs. We begin by defining our terms and then move to a tiny school deep in the jungles of Central America. This school, like many schools in developing nations, struggles to educate students for an uncertain future. At issue are contradictions extant in a postmodern, globalized world, where colonial domination has been replaced by post-colonialism, which is not free from issues of domination and power. This article offers culturally relevant education and critical pedagogy, in tandem or separately, as a way to forge new links with a society that is attempting to become a more developed nation. Culturally relevant education allows for teaching and learning that is responsive to student needs, while critical pedagogy offers a means of devolving as much power to the students as possible. In this way, students may become empowered to foster meaningful change within their lives and within the societies in which they live

    Dimensions of social justice leadership:a critical review of actions, challenges, dilemmas, and opportunities for the inclusion of students with disabilities in U.S. schools
    (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Grupo de Investigación "Cambio Educativo para la Justicia Social" (GICE), 2014-12) DeMatthews, David
    Empirical research has described how school leaders with social justice orientations investigate, understand, and address issues related to marginalization. These studies detail many of the heroic efforts of principals and their dedication, persistence, and skill. Theoretical and empirical writings have often presented social justice leadership as a “cure-all” to inequities rather than politically situated leadership orientation that in its practice is dilemma-laden. This article draws upon previous research on effective leadership as well as highlighting key aspects related to special educational policy in U.S. public schools to cultivate a more in-depth understanding of the practice of social justice leadership for inclusion. This analysis is presented to prompt a more in-depth and practice-oriented discussion, analysis, and understanding of the challenges associated with social justice leadership. Recommendations for future research and a more community-oriented and activist approach to social justice leadership are presented and justified at the conclusion of the article.

    (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Grupo de Investigación "Cambio Educativo para la Justicia Social" (GICE), 2014-12) González González, Teresa
    En este artículo se realizan algunas reflexiones y consideraciones en torno a Liderazgo para la Justicia Social en las organizaciones educativas. Se ha elaborado a partir de una revisión bibliográfica de investigaciones y aportaciones teóricas recientes referidas al tema de la Justicia social y del liderazgo orientado a la misma en organizaciones educativas, particularmente centros escolares en los que las facetas curriculares y pedagógicas del ejercicio de tal liderazgo son esenciales. El texto está organizado en una introducción y dos grandes apartados. En la introducción se acota el propósito del artículo y el contenido a abordar en el mismo. El primer apartado incluye una breve explicación sobre la escasa atención que se ha venido prestando a este tema y algunas de las razones que suscitan su interés en la actualidad. En el segundo, más amplio, se ofrece una caracterización, fundamentada en la bibliografía existente, sobre qué cabe entender por liderazgo para la Justicia social cuando nos situamos en contextos escolares, y cuáles son los grandes ejes y pilares a tener en cuenta para desplegarlo

    Principal leadership in “Beating the Odds” schools… Advocates for social justice and equity
    (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Grupo de Investigación "Cambio Educativo para la Justicia Social" (GICE), 2014-12) Brown, Kathleen M
    To explore the role that principal leadership plays in shaping school performance, this article draws on data from eight high schools that are “beating the odds” (i.e., they are outperforming expectations and have done so consistently for five or more years). Beating the Odds (BTO) schools were chosen strategically for their ability to produce high rates of learning with challenging student populations. By cultivating the elements of will and capacity, the principals in these BTO schools worked actively to promote organizational commitment and to hold both individual teachers and groups of teachers responsible for learning outcomes. BTO principals effectively recruited, retained, and strengthened their faculties through supervision, professional development, and professional learning communities. Driven by a common commitment to the organization and its goals, and by administrative and professional accountability, teachers and principals created a disciplined environment for learning and implemented a distinctive set of curricular, instructional, and assessment practices

    Leadership for Social Justice: Social Justice Pedagogies
    (Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Grupo de Investigación "Cambio Educativo para la Justicia Social" (GICE), 2014-12) Bogotch, Ira; Reyes-Guerra, Daniel
    The relationship between educational leadership and practices of social justice is now entering its second decade with respect to empirical research studies. There have been three distinct research agendas: the first involves attempts to define the meaning(s) of educational leadership for social justice; the second is the descriptive documentation of school leadership behaviors which address social injustices and inequities within schools; and, the third focuses on the development of leadership preparation programs that include social justice as a curricular foundation. This paper is delimited to a review of literature documenting the relationship between social justice and leadership preparation programs, highlighting specific pedagogies, and building towards a curriculum. We take a chronological perspective moving from early theoretical conceptions of social justice to early studies on preparation programs and then focus on second generation empirical research centered on social justice pedagogies and curriculum development
