Teaching Diversity for Adaptation and Change: A Case Study
Brion, Corinne
Journal of Ethnographic & Qualitative Research, v14 n3 p170-185 Spr 2020
Preparing teachers and leaders to become culturally competent has become a global concern and a priority. To date, there has been little research conducted among school leaders regarding how new diversity knowledge is transferred to schools. Therefore, the purpose of the present qualitative study is to explore the extent to which future educational leaders enrolled in a graduate course regarding diversity are able to transfer the newly acquired knowledge to their professional lives and to understand what hinders and enhances their transfer of knowledge. Using the multidimensional model of learning transfer as a theoretical framework and analyzing the findings, I suggest that participants of this present study were able to use new diversity knowledge in their personal and professional lives. Further analysis identified enhancers and inhibitors to the transfer of such diversity knowledge. Based on the present study's findings, I provide recommendations for practice and research related to facilitating and sustaining the transfer of diversity knowledge among aspiring school leaders.
