Culturally Responsive Leadership

This 4-hour professional learning session builds on the foundational concepts introduced in the Culturally Responsive Practice (CRP) series. Designed for directors, assistant directors, pedagogical leaders, inclusion coordinators, and educators in coaching or leadership roles, this session explores how leadership can support culturally responsive practice across early learning and child care programs.

Participants will deepen their understanding of effective leadership and explore the behaviours and responsibilities that support inclusive, strengths-based environments. The session introduces key practices of culturally responsive leadership and provides opportunities to engage in courageous conversations and coaching strategies through a case study format.

• Participants will:

   

  • Develop an understanding of effective leadership and the different types of behaviours and responsibilities of leaders.
  • Develop an understanding of culturally responsive leadership, and identity key practices for culturally responsive leaders.
  • Understand what courageous conversations are and how to have them with their team.
  • Understand what coaching is and identify ways to build a supportive environment within their programs.

Note: Completion of the 12-hour Culturally Responsive Practice (CRP) series is a prerequisite for this module.
