The book explores the lived experiences of 14 American Muslim public school principals post-9/11 and the impact of global events, political discourse, and media coverage of Islam and Muslims on one’s leadership ability and spirituality.
There has been a sizable amount of research on how 9/11 has had an impact on public school communities, including students, teachers, and parents of Muslim identity. There is however a lack of study on Muslim principals of public schools. This book examines the lived experiences of American Muslim principals who serve in public schools post-9/11 to determine whether global events, political discourse, and the media coverage of Islam and Muslims have affected their leadership and spirituality. Such a study is intended to help readers to gain an understanding of the adversities that American Muslim principals have experienced post-9/11 and how to address these adversities, particularly through decisions about educational policy and district leadership.

Debbie Almontaser was the founding and former principal of the Khalil Gibran International Academy in Brooklyn, New York. A 25-year veteran of the NYC Public School System, she taught and served as a director in special education and inclusion, trained teachers in literacy, and served as a multicultural specialist and diversity advisor. Currently she is the Founder and CEO of Bridging Cultures Group Inc and a Professor at the College of Staten Island’s School of Education in the Post Masters Advanced Certificate Program for Leadership in Education.
