Abstract

Schools in diverse settings pose leadership challenges with the principal. They also afford opportunities. A principal who asserts a leadership role and takes the risk of reculturing the school engages students and teachers as well as the community at large in the educational endeavor. Through a case study of Rideau High School, Ottawa, this article explores interventions that help build a "community of leamers. " In this case, the principal taps on the uniqueness of the community by linking outside and inside resources in the school through cultural interpreters.
