Theme #4: Culturally Sustaining Leadership

• In Event: Reimagining Education for the Changing Public: From Research to Promising Pedagogy in Racially Diverse Schools

Abstract

Critical to this reimagining process are 21st Century leadership practices that foster racial and cultural literacies and support equity pedagogy across the curriculum. Such leadership – at all levels of the educational system -- values the gifts of each educator and student; it centers the multiple experiences and understandings of racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse learners, including those not measured on standardized tests.
