Studies conducted with students who have been labeled “high-risk” are especially lacking. …

Educational Leadership and Policy Studies: Doctoral Research Projects
The history of the American educational system is rife with examples of racism and denial of equal access and opportunity to students of color. Despite efforts to close the opportunity gap, inequity remains.

I compared these experiences with the tenets of culturally responsive school leadership that is a path toward greater equity. Concurrently, I reflected deeply upon my leadership, enlisting critical colleagues to help uncover ways in which my leadership toward …
