“You Can’t Lead Where You Won’t Go”: Mapping a Path to Culturally Responsive Leadership
Course Dates: 8 Feb 2021 – 7 March 2021: Registration Ends: 25 Jan 2021
Inspired by Malcolm X’s words, “We can’t lead where we won’t go,” we invite you to take a journey of self-discovery and engage in the inner work of personal transformation. As leaders, we cannot expect our school communities to critically reflect on their biases if we don’t do so ourselves.
