The need for change in university leadership preparation is not contested. However, the strategies and pedagogical tools used to bring about changes in leadership preparation are scrutinized. As a collective, the authors in the symposium find strength in the multiplicity of intellectual thought and offer multiple ways to define culturally relevant leadership frameworks. This symposium will elucidate multiple definitions of culturally relevant leadership frameworks and examine implementation strategies that seek to transform urban education.
