Suburban School Leaders' Perspectives of Culturally Responsive Leadership Practices
Tia Louise Pressey
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, Concordia University Chicago
The purpose of this study was to understand the perspectives of northeastern suburban school leaders regarding the implementation of culturally responsive leadership practices. Three frameworks that guided this study were culturally responsive leadership, transformational leadership, and transformative leadership framework. There are bodies of research for each framework separately; however, this study utilized a conceptual framework to link the culturally responsive leadership strand, critical self-reflection on leadership behaviors, with transformational and transformative leadership framework lenses. A basic qualitative inquiry research methodology was used in this study. This study was conducted via videoconferencing with 15 superintendents in northeastern affluent suburban school districts who participated in professional development workshops on culturally responsive practices for at least one year, led school districts for at least one year, and worked as school leaders for at least three years. The results of this study show that the best way to successfully implement culturally responsive leadership practices is through developing human relationships, having the appropriate tools for implementation, unpacking and confronting biases, and prioritizing culturally responsive leadership practices throughout the school district.
