Abstract

This study explored the experiences of learners as part of a university educational leadership program course activity. Learners chose collaborative learning in solving a real-world problem and in developing a collective plan of action to better tackle school and community cultural inclusiveness. Observational protocols, group interviews and reflections of 13 graduate-level potential educational leaders made up the data. The findings revealed that collaboration proved beneficial in improving skills in cultural responsiveness and cultural sensitivity. Moreover, leaders learned ways to set aside personal agendas and focus on their institutional goals to better manage cultural barriers to the success of their students.
