Culturally Responsive Leadership in Bilingual Education: An Exploration of the Practices Implemented by Elementary School Principals in Southern New Mexico
Gabriela Peterson
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, New Mexico State University
This qualitative study identified the culturally responsive school leadership practices implemented by principals serving in elementary schools with bilingual education programs in Southern New Mexico. By utilizing a phenomenological approach, this research revealed four major themes. These themes include (1) use of parental voice in school structures, (2) development of teacher capacity for culturally responsive pedagogy, (3) promotion of inclusive classroom environments, and (4) implementation of meaningful language accommodations for families. These findings suggest that school principals serving in elementary schools with bilingual education programs in Southern New Mexico work with parents, students, teachers, and staff to create elementary schools that recognize the importance of the culture, language, values, beliefs, practices, and traditions of their English language learner students to effectively meet their social, emotional, linguistic, and academic needs. These findings also suggest that school principals serving in elementary schools with bilingual education programs in Southern New Mexico have a comprehensive understanding of the concepts of culturally responsive education and use that understanding to transform their schools into learning spaces where their English language learner students embrace and feel the value of their home culture and language.
