Session Type: Symposium
This symposium unites researchers and practitioners engaged in efforts to promote culturally responsive-sustaining education (CRSE) in K-12 schools. Commentators in this session all contributed to the forthcoming edited book Leading the Transition Toward Culturally Responsive-Sustaining Schools, part of the Leadership for School Improvement SIG book series. In that volume, these authors described efforts to lead and study CRSE initiatives. But changes in federal education policy since that writing are jeopardizing these authors’ work. In this symposium, these authors – researchers, teacher leaders, an assistant principal, a superintendent, a special education coordinator, and a community partner – discuss how they have altered their efforts and how they continue fighting for culturally responsive-sustaining schools.
