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.
