Collaborative Leadership Teams

Culturally responsive educational systems are grounded in the belief that culturally and linguistically diverse students can excel in academic endeavors.

Leaders at all levels require knowledge of professional development design, the change process, research findings, data-supported decision making, and an array of leadership and communication skills and processes. Effective leadership development supports participants in accessing and applying culturally responsive practices.

The academies in this module promote inclusive systems and schools by coaching Collaborative Leadership Team members in both leadership skills and team collaboration.
