Language: English (en)
Summary: Self knowledge serves as a conduit for locating one’s internal beliefs and values. It, therefore, offers a critical foundation on which to build a leadership platform. In order for leaders to make culturally responsible decisions, they must understand their key role in modeling and setting a tone that embraces the rich diversity of their school community. To this end, the call for well-examined, transformational leaders is strident. This paper offers an assignment that is designed to help professors of educational leadership better prepare students for diversity leadership by affording students the opportunity to examine familial influences on their beliefs and values. It is particularly beneficial for students who will serve in settings where academic distress is perceived to have a positive correlation with cultural and economic diversity.
