Leadership style in a diverse community for equity and inclusivity of all

 

 As the new year unfolds, bringing with it fresh realizations and decisions often referred to as resolutions, I reflect on my leadership style. When questioned about it, I prioritize people, with a specific focus on promoting inclusivity and empowerment, aiming to inspire and motivate others. Emphasizing the significance of relationships, including those promoting gender equality, I establish clear goals to guide our collective efforts. Instead of focusing solely on myself, I empower my team, emphasizing inclusivity, through coaching and fostering growth, actively collaborating to solve problems for shared success. Consistently conveying my steadfast belief in innovation, I am dedicated to promoting it as a driving force, fostering an environment that encourages everyone, regardless of background or identity, to contribute their unique perspectives.

As an agent of change, with a commitment to inclusivity, I readily adapt to new challenges, grounding my actions in a visionary approach and cultivating a team-oriented culture that values diversity and inclusion, all while guided by principles of integrity.

 Defining my leadership style, I acknowledge my proficiency in decision-making,i also recognize a vulnerability when faced with conflicts and saying No. This vulnerability stems from a desire to avoid upsetting anyone—an area where improvement is needed. Understanding the vital role of a leader in setting boundaries and prioritizing vision and goals, with a specific focus on promoting inclusivity and empowerment, I am committed to refining this aspect for more effective leadership.

Please share how you overcome obstacles in your leadership role! I am eager to learn.

Inclusive Education: The Case for Equity in Systemic Reform

  Expanding Our Understanding of Inclusive Education:  The Case for Equity in Systemic Reform     In the r eview of "Ability, Equity, and Culture; Sustaining Inclusive Urban Education Reform", I indicated that  "a sustainable, scalable, successful systemic educational reform is attainable, provided that all stakeholders are committed to cultural responsivity and inclusivity for all students. In order to achieve this goal, reform needs to combat discrimination based on socially constructed notions of difference, such as gender, race, ethnicity, ability, class, and sexual orientation"  (Fallah et al., 2018).              Most people concerned with the state of education in the United States would agree that our schools are failing a large portion of the culturally and linguistically diverse, socio-economically disadvantaged, minority and immigrant students, as well as students with disabilities.  T here is a pronounced and pervasive achievement gap between English L
