Through engagement in dialogue concerning successful "Rida" educators (Duncan-Andrade, 2007) and social justice leadership, this session seeks to challenge panelist and audience to find ways for leaders to create a space for social justice dialogue and action. Additionally, this session intends to begin conversation concerning how the empirical groundings of successful urban educators and the empirical groundings of social justice leadership can be coalesced to not only inform practice but also leadership preparation programs.
