- Description:
- The demographics of public schools in the United States have changed immensely since the peak of the Civil Rights Era in 1968 from a majority White population to a nearly 50% heterogenous mix of Culturally and linguistically diverse (CLD) students. Culturally and Linguistically Diverse students face longstanding issues of inequity within public schools in the United States. Culturally responsive school leadership is one method to address and redress the longstanding inequities for CLD students. School counselors are uniquely positioned to bridge the multicultural and social justice leadership practices to traditional models of school leadership based on their training, access to school-wide data and infusion of Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (Ratts and Greenleaf, 2017). This conceptual article seeks to promote school counselors as culturally responsive school leaders by revealing their training and skillsets through a Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies framework.
