The resulting model is built around the four features demonstrated by the strongest leaders: race consciousness, critical caring, justice leadership, and ethical praxis .\nRace-conscious caring leaders go beyond their good intentions to develop deep understanding of the needs and interests of their students, they learn about racial identities and histories as strengths.
