Empowering Leaders With Cultural Proficiency

Praxis Lead Equity partners with educators, leaders, and organizations to create inclusive, equitable, and culturally proficient learning environments.

Access and Equity with Courage

A fundamental challenge for today’s educators is understanding and recognizing how individual and organizational beliefs, professional values, and behaviors, impact cultural difference associated with diversity. This requires culturally proficient leaders to manage dynamics of difference through an awareness of intersectionality to better acknowledge and address differences among us. Sharpening our “lens” to how we see ourselves and others, will have a powerful and positive impact on how we lead policy and decision making, curriculum and instruction, and build positive relationships. Improving district/school site climate and culture requires courage capable of leading change towards closing and eliminating achievement, opportunity, and equity gaps.

Our Concepts & Tools

Praxis is defined as “action relating theory to practice, in a specific context that challenges power relationships and leads to transformative action.” Our goal is to help districts/school sites move beyond school improvement toward building capacity for sustainable transformative change to meet the needs of a rapidly changing student demographic.

Praxis Lead Equity Consulting consists of certified Culturally Proficient P-16 educational consultants with leadership, administrative, and teaching experience in primary, secondary, and higher education.
