Summary:
Developed for work in mental health agencies, cultural proficiency is a relatively new approach to diversity that can be applied in educational and community settings. Cultural proficiency refers to the policies and practices of a school or the behaviors of a person that enable the school or person to interact effectively in a culturally diverse environment. This guide introduces the cultural proficiency model to school leaders and provides practical and field-tested applications of cultural proficiency concepts in the following chapters: (1) "The Case: Presenting Rolling Meadows and Coolidge School Districts"; (2) "What Is Cultural Proficiency?"; (3) "Becoming a Culturally Proficient Leader"; (4) "Overcoming Resistance to Change"; (5) "Understanding the Barrier of Entitlement"; and (6) "Moving toward Cultural Proficiency." Structured activities for developing cultural proficiency are arranged in six resource sections that correspond to text chapters. (Contains 6 figures, 11 tables, and 77 references.) (SLD)
