Flux Leadership: Leading for Justice and Peace in & beyond COVID-19
Ravitch, Sharon M.
Penn GSE Perspectives on Urban Education, v18 n1 Fall 2020
In this twin pandemic moment, educational leaders face increasing pressure to assume a transformative leadership stance committed to racial justice, wherein curriculum, pedagogy, policies, norms, and mindsets are critically appraised and transformed into a new normative state of anti-racism. Flux leadership is a framework for equitable, responsive, and agile leadership in this moment of ongoing, complex, multi-faceted change. Flux leadership creates the conditions for flux pedagogy through taking an inquiry and justice-focused leadership stance. The primary dimensions of flux leadership are: (1) Radical Growth Mindset; (2) Distributed Wisdom Approach; (3) Leading from an Inquiry Stance (4) Trauma-informed Leadership; (5) Radical Compassion and Radical Self-Care; (6) Responsive and Humanizing Leadership; (7) Leader Critical Pedagogy; (8) Racial Literacy; (9) Brave Space Leadership; and (10) Emotional Imagination and Inner-Resource Cultivation. Each dimension of flux leadership is discussed in the context of COVID-19 and movement for racial equality, justice, and peace. Attached to each concept framing are suggested practices for transforming schools, teams, and classrooms into brave space communities of practice--including online--during this time of radical flux, a time in which students need affirming and justice-generating learning spaces.
