Using a theoretical framework of critical race theory and conceptual frameworks of cultural education, this study explores the intersection of district-university partnerships and culturally responsive education.

School reform efforts, particularly those that are concerned with equity and social justice have led to an evolution of educational leadership theories and practices.

This case study explored how one university leadership preparation program infused social justice tenets into the training.

In recent years, critical race theory (CRT) has garnered much attention in education scholarship as a way to examine racialized practices and social injustices that persist in U.S. schooling. This study used CRT as a basis for the theoretical framework and interpretive lens …
