The Culturally Proficient School: An Implementation Guide for School Leaders
"The case study presents a picture of the reality we have all experienced, while the 'how to' and 'can do' chapters reflect a spirit of optimism and well crafted strategies to help leaders and others to develop cultural proficiency. This is not a simple step-by-step description of assuming attitudes, behaviors, and values advocated by the authors as consisting of cultural proficiency. It is, instead, a work which demands reflection, experimentation, and insight into organizational and personal aspects of associating with one another."
—From the Foreword by Flora Ida Ortiz
"The blend of theory with practical exercises, including reflective activities, allows this book to have a profound impact on the thinking and professional behavior of current and prospective educational leaders."
—Michael Dantley, Associate Professor of Educational Leadership
