School Leadership for Dual Language Education: A Social Justice Approach
DeMatthews, David; Izquierdo, Elena
Educational Forum, v80 n3 p278-293 2016
This article examines how a dual language program can be developed within the framework of social justice leadership. The authors analyzed principal, teacher, and parent interview transcripts as well as field notes and key documents to understand the role of school leadership in creating inclusive dual language programs to close the Latina/o-White achievement gap. Findings suggest the importance of family-teacher support, multiple stakeholder perspectives, teacher recruitment, and ongoing professional development and program evaluation.
