| Summary: | "Culturally Proficient Coaching" presents a well-researched approach grounded in the development of trust among people to counteract the imbalance and polarization that exist in today's political, social, economic and cultural environments that directly impact educational environments. It aligns two frameworks (cultural proficiency and cognitive coaching), both of which are grounded in the idea that change is a personal, inside-out process. The second edition of this book extends and enhances conversations about accountability and assessment of educator's work focused on closing instructional and opportunity gaps in North American schools. Although such gaps have persisted for generations, our schools now face increasingly polarized debates and counter-productive patterns of behavior than previously existed. Cultural Proficiency is an "inside-out" process in which educators critically examine their own attitudes, beliefs, practices and actions that potentially minimize their effectiveness with students who "don't look them." They then focus on schoolwide policies and practices that, similarly, marginalize underserved student groups. |
