8、dvocacy for social, political, and economic justice in dynamic, inclusive institutions and communities that value all students. Thus we value leaders who engage with members of communities particularly situated in urban areas where historically and more recently excluded groups live and raise their

Fueled by the pursuit of social, political and economic justice, leaders use an understanding of power and their own and others social positions to examine the

13、dynamics of place and context as they create opportunities for access and inclusion in early childhood to post-secondary educational settings. As leaders, they model for others the ongoing reflection, data-informed analysis and action needed to bring about substantive changes in instructional and ot

14、her educational practices and ensure that all learners experience academic excellence and accomplish their education goals.,Core Values: Engagement,We believe leaders understand the role of knowledge and power in building democratic, productive and reciprocal relationships. They include rather than

15、exclude, and listen to and value the voices of all stakeholders. They bring to educational partnerships a unique capacity to identify, analyze, and conduct original, rigorous, and relevant research and evaluation studies. As community leaders, they foster collaborative inquiry on issues critical to

16、the school community and use collaboration as a process to enable the transformation of social, political and cultural practices in ways that maximize the learning of each and everyone who is engaged in education.,Intersection of Core Values with Instructional Constructs and Themes = Student Learnin
