Dr. Rose will explain how, to effectively implement change, leaders must understand power, its sources and how it is used in context. He will briefly explore the intersections of capital, power and leadership as it relates to forging a more equitable public education system for students of African and Indigenous descent.

He is the creator of the Culturally Responsive Practices Leadership Academy for the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE), which works with over 20 superintendents and their leadership teams to systematize culturally responsive practice in districts across the Commonwealth.

Prior to BlackPrint, Dr. Rose was the Assistant Superintendent of the Opportunity Gaps Office of the Boston Public Schools for nearly five years wherein he was able to build a heralded legacy of effective systemic initiatives, professional development, groundbreaking policies, and meaningful programming. Dr. Rose’s leadership and equity innovations have been featured in multiple journals and media outlets including a feature in Boston Magazine in the Spring of 2019.Registration is free, but donations to Citizens for Public Schools are always appreciated.
