520 $a This study examines how school-wide change activities affect teachers' understanding and implementation of culturally responsive teaching practices. Studied specifically are how change activities affect the practices of seven white male teachers in grades six and seven. The educational experiences of African American girls enrolled in these teachers' classes are examined as well. Throughout the study is woven analysis of how the principalship provides leadership opportunities to promote change.
520 $a Study activities include dissemination and discussion of pertinent literature among the middle school's teachers, observations of white male teachers' classes, conversations with those teachers, surveys of students and teachers, and interviews with the African American girls. From data, it is evident that teachers whose attitude and practices reflect and incorporate students' cultural backgrounds and interests are most effective with the African American girls. The men discuss the importance of creating caring learning communities for children, while the girls talk positively about being involved in extra-curricular activities and learning from teachers who make classes interesting and fun.
520 $a Particularly important are findings regarding the importance of creating caring middle school classroom climates. Overall, teachers report spending a lot of non-classroom contact time with children, citing the importance of supporting students and learning about their individual needs and interests. Students also report high engagement levels in extra-curricular school offerings, indicating the importance of spending time with friends. It follows that the African American girls are most comfortable and engaged in classrooms where teachers demonstrate patience, provide opportunities for group work, and make learning relevant.
520 $a The study's findings have important implications for educational leaders striving to promote equitable learning opportunities, to enhance students' efficacy and agency, to foster a caring school community, and to build a climate conducive to change. Also significant are findings regarding how the school's positive culture is manifested and understood by the girls interviewed. These insights are helpful for classroom teachers, school administrators, or central office personnel who seek ways to meet the learning, social, and emotional needs of diverse adolescent populations.
