Abstract

Newly employed school site principals are thrust into a socio-political learning environment where whiteness and institutional racism exist. Thus, it is critically important that embedded throughout principal preparation, enrolled teachers learn, experience, and “see” race and the intersectionality of race and educational justice in the public school learning environment.
