Create a culturally responsive leadership community
Inspire your school leaders to embody an activist mindset to help shape the future of their students and society at large. Authors Dawn Brooks DeCosta and Mark Anthony Gooden combine social-emotional learning and culturally responsive school leadership approaches—in what they term the culturally responsive and affirming social-emotional leadership (CRASEL) framework—to build racial and cultural awareness while addressing individual and community-wide social and emotional needs.
K–12 school and district leaders will:
- Attend to individual and cultural social and emotional needs with research-supported strategies
- Learn Gooden’s racial autobiography process as a tool for self-reflection
- Bridge social-emotional learning and culturally responsive leadership with the CRASEL framework
- Collaborate with colleagues to cocreate a shared community vision and encourage accountability
- Glean insights from world leaders
