Reflection:

One of my primary goals in expanding my leadership prior to entering this program focused on my ability to lead with a lens of cultural proficiency. My coursework, particularly in Social, Cultural, Political, and Community Dimensions in Education helped move me toward that goal, as did coursework focused on leadership of Special Services. Additionally, a significant aspect of my practicums has been anchored in working alongside Brenda and Franklin CampbellJones, of CampbellJones & Associates, who are leaders in the area of creating culturally proficient educators and organizations. Through this work, I am proud of the progress I have made on this competency and the action project I developed. I believe deeply in the capacity of diversity leadership to create meaningful change in education.
