Cultural Leadership: A Team Effort

All teachers are leaders, and leaders change structural norms. In our case, leadership involved bringing a schoolwide cultural education project to Clarenville Middle School. My name is Leah Paranavitana and I am a teacher of visible minority. As a child growing up in the NL school system in St. John’s, Newfoundland, I was exposed to peers of various cultures and backgrounds through school involvement with community organizations such as Sharing Our Cultures.
