Shane Safir and Jamila Dugan talk on the Cult of Pedagogy Podcast about what schools have done historically to address equity gaps, why those efforts have largely failed, and why their approach is far more effective.
Frontline Leadership in education moves beyond stale, dated, predetermined, irrelevant, underresponsive, disconnected, and “racially neutral” decision making that maintains a white-centric orientation to how the world works and how the world should work. In this excerpt, discover the eight tenets of Frontline Leadership and practices of frontline leaders.
This excerpt provides educative tools to support leaders in building knowledge, attitudes, understanding, and insights about race, racism, whiteness, and anti-Black racism.
In this forward to The Race Card, professor and author Mark Anthony Goodwin discusses the importance of conceptualizing race and racism for education leaders.
For the leaders in our study, the desire to do good and right emerged as a powerful way into justice-centering educational leadership. In this chapter, we zoom in on leaders’ experiences within the concrete domain of our developmental model for justice-centering leadership.
We were privileged to learn from a diverse group of teachers, administrators, former leadership students, and other professionals in the field. Our hope was not, per se, to generate a book of best practices culled from the most successful, most accomplished justice-centering leaders out there (although we do, we are happy to report, get to recount many promising strategies and approaches!). Rather, we were interested in learning from leaders across the widest possible range of perspectives, identities, experiences, roles, geographies, and ways of knowing that we could at the time.
Learn how leaders committed to social justice can support the growth and contributions of others while also development their own capacities to engage, appreciate, understand, connect, and lead for change and transformation.
Created by the Cult of Pedagogy, this mini-series documents educators from two schools as they work through the Equity Transformation Cycle outlined in the 2021 book by Shane Safir and Jamila Dugan, Street Data.

In this webinar, Lee Ann facilitates thinking around Universal Design for Learning as a means to bring equity in learning experiences and outcomes for a broad range of student variability.
In this task, students create functions to model patterns found in geometric and table representations and identify rate of change (slope).
In this algebra task, students use properties of operations to modify algebraic riddles.
