Effective school administrators are intentional about advocating for or hiring and retaining a diverse and culturally responsive staff who have the ability to function in cross-cultural settings and with people from different cultures, races, and backgrounds. Effective leaders also look for ways to identify, select, develop, and mentor culturally responsive and diverse staff representing the demographics of the school and community that they serve. An inclusive learning environment respects diversity and equity, selects culturally responsive staff and provides opportunities for students to learn and improve when they are taught by staff who often look like them, have the same shared experiences and who are focused on providing a rigorous and personalized education for each student. Clinical (Field) Experience is required.
