• W66673042 abstract "This paper explores how leadership exercised by a principal would be conducive to developing effective multicultural education in an environment capitalizing on faculty diversity. Organizational values and processes consistent with school endeavors to prepare students for democratic citizenship in an increasingly pluralistic society are discussed. Topics covered apropos to Leader's role in shaping a culture that enables diverse students to achieve more of their potential include: professional development, empowerment, action research, and ethical learning communities. Constructivistic and phenomenological perspectives provide theoretical support for position that students and teachers from diverse backgrounds perceive school goals based on their own cultural experiences. This interpretation underscores leadership priority for understanding how different values and beliefs affect teaching/learning process. Purposes This position paper proposes that tenets of leadership are well suited for enhancing professional and personal development of a diverse faculty in a multicultural setting. In this context, link of a principal's transformative behaviors with efforts to promote a learning community committed to providing equitable and excellent education is discussed. Research implications investigating relationship between leadership and multicultural education are also suggested. Perspectives According to Smith (1996), the vision and responsibility for maintaining ideals and programs that are responsive to racial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, religious, and gender diversity has become one of leadership challenges of coming century (pp. 33-34). The practice of leadership by principal can help promote a culture which is conducive to meeting this challenge. The rationale for this proposition is offered next. Inherent in definition of leadership is notion of concomitant growth of those that exercise and are influenced by such leadership. Thus, Burns (1978) held that leadership (referring to it as transforming leadership) occurs when one or more persons engage with others in such a way that leaders and followers raise one another to higher levels of motivation and morality ... Power bases are linked not as counterweights but as mutual support for a common purpose.... Transforming leadership ultimately becomes moral in that it raises level of human conduct and ethical aspirations of both leader and led and thus has a transforming effect on both. (p. 20) Given this mentality, transformational principals are open to change and, more fundamentally, embrace its prospect since they realize that school improvement is inextricably connected with personal and professional development of themselves and their staffs. As stated by DuFour & Eaker (1992), the key to school improvement is people improvement. Attention to professional development must be cornerstone of any initiative to enhance effectiveness of schools (p. 20). Capitalizing on Diversity through Transformational Leadership The moral and growth dimensions of leadership reinforce each other through value placed by members of organization on eliciting, respecting, and considering diverse points of view regarding issues and problems. Thus, in an environment receptive to change, individuals are encouraged to present their positions. Through democratic interaction consensus is reached on decisions--a process that enhances growth as individuals learn from each other by gaining insights that may not have been obtained otherwise. For Senge (1990) this effect occurs through dialogue. Thus, he maintains that team learning in organizations starts with dialogue which allows the group to discover insights not attainable individually (p. …" @default.
