Description:
|
Culturally relevant and inclusive classrooms are just one component to developing a more equitable and socially just educational environment. Culturally responsive school leadership (CRSL) incorporates mandates that school administrators have just the same, if not more, responsibility as teachers in addressing the educational environment impacting minoritized students. Literature examining CRSL exists, but is largely limited to urban school environments and rarely engages rural and suburban settings. Moreover, CRSL seldom focuses on school leadership as they pertain to the specific needs of African American girls in the K-12 setting. This project aims to examine the existing literature on Culturally Responsive School Leadership (CRSL) within rural and suburban schools, and as it relates to the specific needs of African American girls. Particular attention will be paid to how school leadership (e.g. Assistant Principals, Principals, etc.) address the disproportionate discipline of African American girls in K-12 classrooms. The goals of this project are to generate an exhaustive search of existing literature pertaining to the topic and develop a summary of the findings. Students will be highly-supported by both the project leader and the faculty mentor through ongoing meetings, discussions, and development.
