Culturally Responsive School Leadership: Empirical Research and Theoretical Advances

Sun, April 6, 4:05 to 6:05pm, Convention Center, Floor: 100 Level, 120A

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session brings together researchers around the topic of culturally responsive leadership. We ask: what are the unique characteristics and behaviors of a culturally responsive school leader? How can leaders respond to minoritized school contexts in similar ways that teachers respond to diverse students? How must the effectiveness of a culturally responsive school leader be characterized and measured? And, how is it situated within other forms of school leadership? Specifically three recurrent themes are extrapolated in the papers: the central role of racial oppression and its resistances, the central role of community and its voices, and the dire necessity of comprehensive training—imbuing anti-racism, praxis and social justice—in educational leadership training programs. We end with a review of literature.
