This book is the second edition of the highly successful Handbook of Urban Educational Leadership. This book examines the uniqueness of the urban school and those in leadership roles that affect urban students and schools. It examines community, district, school, and teacher leadership influencing urban schools. This edition examines conceptualizations of urban ecologies as well as other critical geographies and how these shape understandings in educational contexts. Contributions for this edition focused on areas that examined social, technological, international and other processes with intersections of issues of race, class, and gender, power, politics, and capital and how they influence urban educational leadership. We also included place and space-based theories and discourses that influence urban realities, which include (but were not limited to): networks, assemblages, safe/brave space, placemaking, flow, thirdspace, homeplace, and urbanormativity.

A Companion Guide to Handbook of Urban Educational Leadership: Theory to Practice provides the reader with activities linked to the theoretical chapters, which no handbook has included to date. The overarching goal is the development of scholarly leaders who can lead change and improve the practice. The Companion Guide creates an important bridge to connecting the theoretical concepts with practical applications. The Companion Guide activities will help illuminate salient theoretical concepts related to urban education and leadership. This deliberate intertwining of theoretical bases with practical implications, allows the reader to gain understanding into the praxis of urban educational leadership. By bringing together philosophical and educational insights, we bridge theoretical gaps in the scholarship of the urban educational leadership in society, and offer tools for critically analyzing the undergirding concepts.

This unique volume has been written collaboratively by children, families, teachers, school leaders, scholars, and community organization representatives. With each author having a platform to express his or her individual voice, chapters centre on the authors'' lived experiences (ranging in skills, knowledge, and activism) in promoting social justice and equity in schools. With a focus on long-standing trends in schools regarding ability (both mental and physical), race, ethnicity, class, religion/beliefs/faith, native language, immigration status, gender, sexuality, family structure, and geographical location, the authors demonstrate how they live their work by facilitating courageous dialogue, promoting inclusive practices, and building authentic relationships with those in power as well as those from marginalised populations. Authors reflect on their personal and professional lives and help the reader understand the call that lies within each of them: to live what is just and right for all children.
