Hey there, I’m Jebeh Edmunds, and I’m beyond excited to embark on this journey with you through my mini-course, Navigating the World: How to Be a Culturally Competent Classroom Leader from High School and Beyond.

As an educator, mentor, and advocate for diversity and inclusion, I know firsthand the impact that culturally competent leadership can have in a classroom—and beyond. This course is designed to equip you with practical strategies to lead with authenticity, foster positive change, and become a true ally to your peers and community.

Why Cultural Competency Matters

In today’s diverse world, being a leader isn’t just about standing in front of a room—it’s about creating spaces where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered. Whether you’re a student stepping into leadership roles, an aspiring educator, or someone passionate about inclusivity, this course will give you the tools to navigate conversations on culture, identity, and allyship with confidence.

Your Guide for the Journey

Before we dive in, I want to make sure you have everything you need. Along with this video course, there’s an essential PDF handout filled with thought-provoking questions and exercises. This resource is designed to spark self-reflection and help guide you in developing your leadership skills. Be sure to download it and use it as a companion throughout the course.

Learning at Your Own Pace

I encourage you to take your time with this course. Pause when you need to, reflect on the topics we discuss, and engage in meaningful conversations with your peers and mentors. The most impactful learning happens when we are open to new perspectives and willing to challenge our own assumptions.
