Drawing on recent, progressive literature, this conversation addresses school leaders’ readiness for progressive leadership. In concert with storytelling and counternarratives as an important form of critical theory, panelists use vignettes and counternarratives discuss identity development, critical pedagogy, and dialogue in their progressive leadership. By critically examining leaders’ readiness to lead for social justice, this conversation can illuminate needed changes for university-based educational leadership programs in developing progressive, socially just leaders for P-12 schools.
