In order to move past transactional leadership, I believe relationships have to be built.  As Cooper (2010) points out, transformative leadership requires collaboration, inclusion of all students and a sharing of responsibility.  In order to gain true collaboration and inclusion, trust, transparency and authenticity on the part of the leader is essential.  I believe in using dialog as a "foundational strategy for building race consciousness as well as a way to raise consciousness across all dimensions of diversity" (Horsford & Clark, 2015, p.70).

I believe that in order to be an effective leader, one has to not only have vision and inspire others, but also do the actual work alongside those they are leading. Social Justice leadership and anti-racism requires everyone to move beyond the philosophical or theoretical to practice and concrete actions that move the whole group toward social justice and equity (Welton, Owens & Zamani-Gallaher, 2018).

We must practice "multicultural curriculum transformation" to ensure that we do not continue to give a single story about any culture (Horsford & Clark, 2015, p.74).

Workshops

In many ways, the racial injustice being highlighted at this time in history is not new. What IS new is the way racial justice is now being covered by the mainstream media and discussed in just about every forum. Students are looking to their teachers to help navigate and make sense of what they are seeing. In our workshops, we help educators develop the knowledge and skills to support students in this process - and to work with colleagues in developing inclusive, antiracist curricula and school communities.

Some of our newest workshops include:

As Transformative Leadership asserts, we must address inequity at a local level as well as societal level (Sheilds, C., 2010).

"Inherent in the fiber of democracy is the celebration of the multiple voices, identities, and perspectives of all those in the community" (Dantley & Tillman, 2016, p. 22). Through dialog we can learn "to walk the talk of democracy- to live, learn and work productively with others with whom we fundamentally and persistently disagree" (Horsford & Clark, 2015, p.69).
