EDD 710 Social Justice for Educational Leaders

This course is designed to prepare students to think critically about how key elements of social justice - fairness, equity, excellence for all - intersect with public education. Students analyze the effectiveness of efforts to improve access to high quality schooling and academic outcomes for all students. Using a social justice lens, students examine case studies and initiatives at the school, district and state/federal policy levels. They develop actions plans that advance fairness and equity of opportunity for all students, focusing on the opportunity and achievement gaps between historically privileged and underserved populations.
