Leadership Education And Development For What?: Civic Imagination For A More Just And Democratic Society, Brandon W. Kliewer, Jeff Zacharakis
Leadership Education And Development For What?: Civic Imagination For A More Just And Democratic Society, Brandon W. Kliewer, Jeff Zacharakis
Educational Considerations
When institutions assign meaning to individual rights and distribute resources in ways that shape the life chances of people, if appropriately designed they strengthen social justice aims. Yet the natural outcome of how individuals relate to institutions does not automatically align with justice.

Leadership Education And Development For Justice Using The Canonical Framework Of John Rawls's A Theory Of Justice, Brandon W. Kliewer, Jeff Zacharakis
Leadership Education And Development For Justice Using The Canonical Framework Of John Rawls's A Theory Of Justice, Brandon W. Kliewer, Jeff Zacharakis
Educational Considerations
Higher education that presupposes a specific conception of justice do well in preparing students to make claims of justice from specific perspectives or positions. However, civic leadership students with a strong background in specific conceptions of justice are often not equipped with necessary skills, dispositions, and habits to exercise leadership in ways that can manage political contestation associated with competing claims of justice.

Community Connections: Integrating Community-Based Field Experiences To Support Teacher Education For Diversity, Christine Beaudry
Community Connections: Integrating Community-Based Field Experiences To Support Teacher Education For Diversity, Christine Beaudry
Educational Considerations
In the United States, preservice teachers often graduate and go on to work with students whose backgrounds are different from their own and in communities in which they have limited lived experience. This holds significant implications for teacher education programs given the importance of life and educational experiences in informing teaching and learning knowledge and practices and the subsequent impact of these practices in shaping the experiences and trajectories of students’ lives.

Teaching The Truth: Difficulties With Social Justice And Social Class In Graduate School, Leona English, Carole Roy
Educational Considerations
Nowadays, anyone who wishes to combat lies and ignorance and to write the truth must overcome at least five difficulties. He must have the courage to write the truth when truth is everywhere opposed; the keenness to recognize it, although it is everywhere concealed; the skill to manipulate it as a weapon; the judgment to select those in whose hands it will be effective; and the cunning to spread the truth among such persons.

Exceeding The Limits: Teaching And Assessing Information Literacy Within Blackboard, Jon Ritterbush
Kansas Library Association College and University Libraries Section Proceedings
Many librarians can relate to the pedagogical limitations of one-shot classes and the challenges of reaching large numbers of first-year students.

Since Fall 2011, over 2,400 students have been enrolled in the Tutorial at the request of their course instructors, who in turn receive students’ Tutorial quiz scores for use as graded credit. This paper describes the Tutorial’s contents, enrollment and grading processes, instructor …
