Read the following two scenarios below adapted from

(pp. 115–116).

Question

Scenario 1

The Board of Education of Anywhereville has approved training for the school district’s leaders and school principals on racial, ethnic, and cultural training. 90% of the educational leaders in the school district are Caucasian while 70% of the district’s students are African-American, 26% are Hispanic, and the remainder of students are Caucasian. Once the contractual agreement arrives in the district for signature, however, the Board president sees that the title of the training is “White Leaders and Students of Color.” The Board now wants to withdraw its support for the trainings.

Scenario 2

You are a principal from Everywhere School District and have submitted a proposal to speak at a conference called, “Equity Leadership”. The conference has accepted your proposal and you are getting ready to put together your presentation. The emphasis of your presentation is going to be about how you used social justice leadership strategies with your mostly White faculty to become more culturally relevant for your students. Your superintendent is reviewing your presentation at your request and points out that although you are a White woman, you have not included any information about how this content impacted you as a White person, or shared any insights about how you are increasing your own self-awareness of the importance of social justice leadership.

Create a 10- to 15-slide presentation, using a tool such as Microsoft® PowerPoint® or Prezi, based on the scenarios above. Your presentation should reflect principles of social justice leadership as well as the awareness that was raised by your superintendent and Board.

Cite at least 5 peer reviewed articles that served as your references for this presentation.

Format references according to APA guidelines.

Submit your assignment.

Principles of Social Justice 
Principles of Social Justice 
Scenario 1&2: Presentation 
Overview 
Social justice and leadership are interlinked concepts. 
The two must fulfill the needs and expectations of the divers communities living in nation. 
Justice should be more like fulfillment of the human rights.
Social Justice & Leadership
As per the observation of the scenario one, the concept of justice does not apply. 
The four principles of social justice are projected as biased in the form of leadership.
On the grounds of equity, the distribution of titles is not relevant. 
Social Justice & Leadership1
The training program, in spite of addressing  diverse population as groups of students, does not provide information of the same through its title. 
This should not be understood as the equity-based distribution of education. 
Social Justice & Leadership2
The white privilege or racial dominance is obvious in the context of setting the title of the program. 
Instead of clearly indicating towards the white dominance, the title should have been structured with acceptable words and style.  
Social Justice & Leadership3
The title must not show one race covering the entire training program. 
This will lead to, if it is applied in practice, the false narrative of a leadership that does not favor equality.
Especially in education, models of leadership must enhance racial tolerance among communities and groups. 
Social Justice & Leadership4
The objectionable context of the title also hints at the “color” of the students attending the training program.
