Co-written by expert educators and researchers Randall B. Lindsey, Laraine M. Roberts, and Franklin CampbellJones, The Culturally Proficient School: An Implementation Guide For School Leaders offers practical strategies for improving educational performance in schools through cultivating cultural proficiency among educators - the ability to understand and take into account the multicultural backgrounds of students when striving to give them the best opportunities to learn. The Culturally Proficient School includes reflective activities for individuals and groups, an explanation of how to steer meetings away from combative debates toward something more constructive for building cohesion and solving problems, behaviors associated with culturally proficient leadership particularly as applicable to school leaders, professional development activities, and more. A highly recommended adaptive guide especially for an increasingly mobile and multicultural era.

This book is exactly what the title states, an implementation guide. The text could be larger and the information is pretty straight forward and realistic. I provides sceranios from a school facing issues that culturally diverse are beginning to face.

It provides excellent modeling and examples of dealing with certain challenges in schools.
