A social justice perspective in educational leadership is essential in evaluating the impact of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, poverty, and disability on the educational outcomes of students in urban schools.  \nRecent studies have documented that students in urban schools face many educational, social, economic, and cultural challenges that are associated with race, ethnicity, and poverty (Haycock,1998;Haycock, Jerald, and Huang, 2001; Singham, 2003) . In addition, it is common knowledge now that achievementgapis a reality between mainstream students and minority students and many efforts are underway to study, understand, and dismantle the existing educational inequality (Lopez, Magdaleno, & Reis, 2006; Barone, 2006; Portes, 2005) . There is also no disagreement that we need to learn as much as we can about the growing numbers of  \nVolume 19, Fall 2007 75  \nstudents of color and English language learners who attend urban schools so that we can increase their level of academic achievement. Miller and Endo (2004) shared the stories of urban English language learners (ELL) through a research technique called narrative inquiry. They explained the plethora of problems they encounter [in the U.S. school](in the U.S. school) system and recommended steps teachers can follow to help ELL students become successful in a new culture and anew language. While Lazar(2004) called for “culturally sensitive literacy teachers” in urban schools, Diller and Moule’s (2005) recent primer on cross-cultural teaching accentuates the significance of recognizing culture, understanding cultural differences in the classroom, and defining cultural competency.  \nAlthough there have been well-documented and well-argued positions that knowledge about urban students, standard-based instructional perspectives, and other educational reforms are dwarfed by the “power of urban poverty”(Anyon, 2005) and cannot transform the society’s fundamental inequities (Aronowitz & Giroux, 1985), school leaders can contribute in many significant and practical ways in unpacking and approaching the challenge of diversity issues and pave the road for social justice to improve the schooling of urban students. While educational agencies and research institutions attempt sophisticated approaches in finding solutions to the “achievement gap,” we demonstrate in this research article that critical information could begleaned from listening to the authentic voices of students by using a social justice lens. A social justice perspective in educational leadership is essential in evaluating the impact of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexual orientation, poverty, and disability on the educational outcomes of students in urban schools (Marshall & Oliva, 2006; Moule, 2005) .  \nUsing Social Justice Lenses  \nIn this article, we employ the lenses of critical pedagogy (Freire, 1974; Shor, 1987; Gadotti, 1994; Wink, 1997), funds of knowledge (Moll & Gonzalez, 2001 ), politics of caring and connectedness (Valenzuela, 1999), resiliency (Trueba,1999), and social networking (Stanton-Salazar, 2001) to analyze students’experiencesand to depict the social conditions prevalent in urban schools that directly impact the achievement ofpoor students and minority students (Freire & Macedo, 1987; Giroux, 1988; Shor & Pari, 1999; Cushman, Kintgen, Kroll & Rose, 2001; Fehring & Green, 1987; Heffernan, 2004; McLaughlin & DeVoogd, 2004) . In addition, we use the critical and political construct of“inquiry as stance” for understanding and analyzing the purposes, practices, and poli","cbCaieTkGqlvBUAL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaieTkGqlvBUAL","pdf",183077,28,"English","# Abstract\n# Using Social Justice Lenses\n## Funds of Knowledge\n## Resiliency\n## (Additional lenses implied)","[{\"question\":\"What does the article argue about educational leadership and student outcomes?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that a social justice perspective in educational leadership is essential for evaluating how multiple identity and disadvantage factors affect educational outcomes in urban schools.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the article emphasize listening to authentic student voices?\",\"answer\":\"It states that critical implications for addressing educational inequality can be gleaned by listening to students’ authentic voices using a social justice lens.\"},{\"question\":\"Which social justice lenses does the article use to analyze students’ experiences?\",\"answer\":\"It employs lenses including critical pedagogy, funds of knowledge, politics of caring and connectedness, resiliency, and social networking, along with inquiry as stance.\"}]","Social Justice Lenses and Authentic Student Voices - Enhancing Leadership for Educational Justice - Article | PDF",1792096125,71]
