Abstract: The studies represented in this collection illuminate a profound shift occurring in the field of instructional supervision and leadership. Although situated in different contexts, each manuscript converges upon the same deeply ethical and humanizing question: What does it mean to supervise, mentor, support, and evaluate educators in ways that restore dignity, honor community knowledge, and move schools toward justice? Here is what our field has missed: this is not a technical question. It is not about calibrating rubrics, tightening accountability structures, or mastering evaluation protocols. It is, instead, a question that reaches into the heart of schooling as a sociopolitical and historical project. Supervision is a site where power is enacted and contested, where the humanity of teachers and students can be either diminished or affirmed. It is a site where leaders decide whether they will reproduce colonial, corporate, and racialized systems of sorting, or whether they will participate in transforming them. Unfortunately, until now, it has largely been the former.
