Advocacy Leadership Toward a Post-Reform Agenda in Education By: Gary L. Anderson Publisher: Routledge Print ISBN: 9780415994286, 0415994284 eText ISBN: 9781135847784, 1135847789 Edition: 1st Pages: 232 Copyright year: 2009 Format: EPUB Available from $ 19.98 USD SKU 9781135847784R90 In this timely and important new book, Gary Anderson provides a devastating critique of why a managerial role for educational leaders is counterproductive, especially for improving opportunities for low-income students and students of color, and instead proposes ways of re-theorizing educational leadership to emphasize its advocacy role. Advocacy Leadership lays out a post-reform agenda that moves beyond the neo-liberal, competition framework to define a new accountability, a new pedagogy, and a new leadership role definition. Drawing on personal narrative, discourse analysis, and interdisciplinary scholarship, Anderson delivers a compelling argument for the need to move away from current inauthentic and inequitable approaches to school reform in order to jump-start a conversation about an alternative vision of education today.
