“…School administrators can create professional development opportunities that allow teachers and other school personnel to explore differences in communication styles, expand their understanding of the relationships between behavior and culture, and develop ways to incorporate students’ culture into their teaching (Pas, Larson, Reinke, Herman, & Bradshaw, ). Additionally, school administrators can choose programs that address the specific needs of the school population, and instructional resources that are relevant to students’ experiences (Egbo, ). Enfolding the specific needs of the student population into the design of curriculum will personalize the learning process and may make it more accessible to students.…”

In recent years, student populations within public schools in the United States have become increasingly diverse, both culturally and linguistically, and are projected to continue to grow in diversity in the future. Consequently, educators must be prepared to support the needs and education of students with multicultural backgrounds who may differ from them. School administrators play an important role in creating safe, accepting school environments and guiding the education of diverse student populations. However, there is a need for additional guidance for school leaders in cultivating schools that promote equity for all students. Using the National Policy Board for Educational Administration (NPBEA) Professional Standards for Educational Leaders as a guiding framework, this paper provides practical suggestions regarding culturally responsive strategies and practices that school administrators might employ in leading diverse school communities.
