Abstract Details

2016, Doctor of Philosophy, Miami University, Educational Leadership.
This paper is a qualitative case study of how an African American female principal in an urban school with a predominately African American student population practices culturally responsive leadership. The study was designed to enhance the understanding of how culturally responsive leaders impact African American students and other students of color within a 21st century educational system. The participants were interviewed and asked questions that pertained to how the principal employed a culturally responsive leadership framework. The study yielded findings that may change the discourse within educational leadership. The methodological approach utilized was that of a narrative portraiture. The study provides a two-fold model, outlining the practices of culturally responsive leadership for use within the daily routines of the principal and five emergent themes that define the embodiment of those practices. According to the study results, a culturally responsive leader should: espouse a culturally responsive ethic of care, develop a culture and climate of excellence for all students (especially African American students), maintain a disciplined and structured environment, develop a familial culture within the school, and be driven by a greater purpose or higher calling. The paper also discusses limitations to the study and implications for future research.
