$32.00
Culturally Responsive School Leadership focuses on how
school leaders can effectively serve minoritized students—those
who have been historically marginalized in school and society.
The book demonstrates how leaders can engage students, parents,
teachers, and communities in ways that positively impact
learning by honoring indigenous heritages and local cultural
practices.
Muhammad Khalifa explores three basic premises. First, that a
full-fledged and nuanced understanding of “cultural
responsiveness” is essential to successful school leadership.
Second, that cultural responsiveness will not flourish and
succeed in schools without sustained efforts by school leaders
to define and promote it. Finally, that culturally responsive
school leadership comprises a number of crucial leadership
behaviors, which include critical self-reflection; the
development of culturally responsive teachers; the promotion of
inclusive, anti-oppressive school environments; and engagement
with students’ indigenous community contexts.
Based on an ethnography of a school principal who exemplifies
the practices and behaviors of culturally responsive school
leadership, the book provides educators with pedagogy and
strategies for immediate implementation.Book, 232 pages.
