Theres a difference between a good leader and a social justice leader. A social justice leader is all about finding ways to imrpive thier inaitive, become mroe eductaed or edcuate mroe people around themselves, embeeds professionalisim. The end of the article cautions us to consider that decades of good leadership have created and sanctioned unjust and inequitable schools. The kind of leadership that needs to be defined and discussed as good leadership is the leadership the principals in this study have pioneered, leadership centered on enacting social justice, and leadership that creates equitable schools. Summary of the Article: The article discusses the challenges and strategies employed by school principals dedicated to advancing social justice in their schools. These leaders faced significant resistance while striving to create more equitable educational environments, often sacrificing their well-being in the process. The study identifies a three-pronged framework of resistance for social justice leadership: Resistance enacted against historic marginalization of students. Resistance faced as a result of pursuing a social justice agenda. Resistance developed to sustain the social justice agenda amidst opposition. The article emphasizes the importance of preparation programs in equipping future leaders with the skills to navigate these challenges effectively. Strategies for handling resistance include reflective consciousness, knowledge enhancement, and proactive coping mechanisms to avoid burnout. Furthermore, it advocates for a redefinition of "good leadership" to align with principles of social justice. Strategies and Skills to Handle Resistance to Social Justice Changes: Developing Reflective Consciousness: Believing in the possibility of equitable change. Examining equity and justice in practice. Deepening self-awareness as a leader. Cultivating "rebellious, oppositional imaginations" to envision and fight for systemic change. Broadening Knowledge and Skills Base: Understanding topics like special education, English Language Learners (ELLs), curriculum differentiation, and data usage. Gaining skills in presenting, working with diverse families, and addressing issues of race and poverty. Adopting a global perspective on educational equity. Building Resilience and Resistance: Learning proactive and coping strategies to manage opposition and personal tolls. Developing tools to withstand resistance and prevent burnout, enabling long-term commitment to social justice goals. Creating Equity-Focused Preparation Programs: Including social justice training in graduate programs for administrators. Offering spaces to explore resistance strategies and resilience-building in leadership training. Promoting Leadership for Justice Beyond "Good Leadership": Redefining good leadership to include active efforts to create equitable schools. Recognizing that traditional good leadership practices have perpetuated inequities and must evolve to center on social justice. By integrating these strategies into preparation programs and leadership practices, the study argues that educational leaders can better withstand resistance and achieve meaningful progress in advancing social justice.

Indigenous peoples experience lower health outcomes than non-Indigenous peoples in Canada, which is exacerbated by the lack of access to quality health care and lower socio-economic situation (as confirmed by the social determinates of health).

Answer 44

What are the correct terms to use in this area? Inuit. “Indigenous Peoples” is commonly used as a collective term for all of the original peoples of Canada and their descendants. “Indigenous people” with a lower case “people” is simply referring to more than one Indigenous person rather than the collective group of Indigenous Peoples. If a person is working with a specific group that identifies as First Nations, Inuit or Métis they are encouraged to use the more specific name rather than the broader term. It is usually preferable to refer to a particular First Nations group by its chosen name for identification, such as: Nisga’a Nation, McLeod Lake Indian Band or Westbank First Nation. When a particular group is referred to by its chosen name, many groups dispense with the use of the term “First,” as in Kwakiutl Nation instead of Kwakiutl First Nation. Describe the general principles: -Be mindful with the term “Indigenous Peoples.” -Understand that Indigenous Peoples come from different nations with distinct languages, cultures and customs. -Be cautious about vocabulary and usage, especially that which ascribes ownership. -->Instead of describing Indigenous Peoples as “belonging” to Canada, as in “Canada’s Indigenous Peoples,” it is more respectful to say, “Indigenous Peoples living in Canada.” -Capitalize formal titles and maintain consistency. -->When it is a part of a person’s title, capitalize “Chief,” “Hereditary Chief,” “Grand Chief,” and “Elder.” Other key points: -Eskimo is a historical misnomer with negative meaning for manu inuit and should be avoided

Answer 45

What are the correct terms to use in this area? This ground protects a person from discrimination on the basis of their political belief. A person’s political belief should not determine how they are treated by others. This means recognizing the difference between respecting a person regardless of their political belief, and allowing personal judgment to shape actions and the way someone is treated. Describe the general principles: People come from different backgrounds and may be influenced by a number of factors such as their upbringing, culture and parental views. * Being respectful does not mean that a person needs to agree with an opinion; it means that a person needs to be considerate when others express their opinions and vice versa.

Answer 46

What are the correct terms to use in this area?: Rephrasing statements such as “oh my god” to “my goodness” or “oh my gosh” Using language that is inclusive and appropriate.

An individual may have little or no religious affiliation and/or may not wish to be part of certain religious celebrations. -Changing schedules to accommodate days of religious observance. * Making changes to dress codes or uniforms to accommodate an employee’s religion or faith. * Providing menu options to accommodate religious dietary restrictions in the event that food is being served in the workplace. * Adopting a spirit of participation and inclusion by respecting different cultural, religious and spiritual celebrations. -A person should not make assumptions about how another individual may or may not practice their religion.

Answer 47

What are the correct terms to use in this area?: While it may not be necessary to apply marital status titles such as Mr., Mrs. and Ms. when addressing or referring to individuals, some generations are more formal and may be offended if people who don’t know them well don’t use their title. Regardless of the gender of two people in a couple, the neutral term “spouse” can be used to indicate marital status. The term “partner” is also neutral but does not typically indicate marital status and is more commonly used by people who are in a relationship. Describe the general principles: - The question of marital or family status can be avoided by using names only in both written and oral form. -When a person identifies as married or in a relationship, refrain from making specific references to gender (such as referring to their “wife” or “husband”) if unknown. -If necessary, it is preferable to refer to someone’s “birth parent” rather than “natural parent” or “real parent.”

Answer 48

What are the correct terms to use in this area?: When speaking to or about a person with a disability, it is important to focus on the person and not on their disability. Not all persons with disabilities will have strong preferences about language, and there is not always consistency about preferred language between different people. An effective way to determine a person’s preferences for what language they are comfortable with is to ask them in a discrete way that does not draw attention to them. Some people may be more comfortable sharing information about their disabilities than others. Be sensitive in your use of language to the fact that chronic conditions and disabilities, including mental illness, are both visible and non-visible. Terminology about a disability can vary depending on the degree of the impairment. For example, being hard of hearing is different from being deaf. Having low vision is different from being legally blind. Also, just because a person has one disability does not mean they have another. GENERAL PRINCIPLES -“Person with a disability” is a preferred term. -Consider people first. -Generally, frame a disability and most medical conditions as something a person has rather than what they are. -Be mindful when referring to groups. -Be cautious about using language that suggests weakness or infirmity. -Be cautious about portraying a person as “courageous” or “special” just because they have a disability. -If you make a mistake, acknowledge it, apologize and move on. addtional info: -Marital and family status can cover a range of family forms, including lone parent and blended families, as well as families where the parents are in a common-law relationship Adoption is a part of many families Do not make assumptions on what they can and cannot do Just because they have one disability does not make them unable to do common things The United Nations defines people with disabilities as “those who have long-term physical, mental, intellectual, or sensory impairments that result in various barriers in their day to day lives

Answer 49

What are the correct terms to use in this area? One of the greatest opportunities to encourage and demonstrate inclusion is around the use of third person pronouns (“he/she/they”).

Cisgender refers to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender corresponds with their birth sex. * Gender expression refers to how a person publically presents their gender. * Gender identity refers to a person’s internal and external experience of gender which may be the same or different from their sex at birth. * Sex refers to the external physical characteristics used to classify humans at birth. AFAB - Assigned female at birth. AMAB - Assigned male at birth. * Sexual orientation refers to whom one is sexually and/or romantically attracted. * Transgender is an umbrella term to describe a wide range of people whose gender identity and/or gender expression differ from the sex they were assigned at birth and/or Describe the general principles: -Be cautious about making assumptions. -Gender identity or expression and sexual orientation are different. -Take the time to listen if the preferred pronouns are not known. -Be considerate about names. -Respect a person’s privacy -Respect terminology.

Answer 50

What are the correct terms to use in this area? When referring to the entire population of older people, the use of the term “elderly” may be appropriate as in “the impact of prescription drug costs on the elderly,” for example. However, providing more specific information is more respectful and arguably more helpful, as in, “the population above the age of 65 reports experiencing...” Describe the general principles.
