Engaging Culturally Responsive Schools through Navajo Philosophy

Abstract

This Leadership Practice Guide is about implementing the Navajo Philosophy in Leadership and incorporating culturally responsive leadership. As a local school board leader my leadership role is to ensure the employment of effective leadership teams and school leaders who value and practice closely with the community’s cultural expectations. Examples of community cultural events such as Powwow, cultural nights, and cultural community meetings are part of what my leadership role involves ensuring cultural responsiveness in our school systems.
