EDL 845 - Leading for Just and Equitable Curriculum and Instruction

What does it mean to have equitable and just curriculum? This is a question we will wrestle with throughout the course as we think about what just curriculum looks like for Black children, Latinx children, Indigenous children, children with disabilities, children who are minoritized linguistically and children who identify as LGBTQIA+. Equity pedagogues Ladson Billings and Muhammed explain the purpose of equitable instruction is not just so children can do well in school and obtain good jobs, it is so they are given the tools to interrogate the world in which they live and engineer a more just society. This course will prepare leaders to identify the ways in which they can enact practices to create and/or employ equitable and just curriculum in P-12 schools.
