Description
|
The culture of schools and the diversity of those who lead them have not kept pace with the growing diversity in the student population. The culture of today's school is often "Balkanized" -- making effective leadership a particular challenge. James Ryan's work has focused on leadership as an intentionally inclusive practice that values all cultures and types of students in a school. This book draws on his ground-breaking research to develop the powerful new idea of inclusive leadership. Inclusion must encompass all types of difference in students, teachers, parents--from the single mother to the new immigrant, from the parents working night jobs, to the homeless child, to issues of race, religion, gender and sexual orientation. In four fascinating chapters, Ryan provides an overview of the topic, a summary of research, examples of good practice, and guidelines for the future.
This is a volume in The Jossey-Bass Leadership Library in Education, a distinctive series of original, accessible, and concise books designed to address some of the most important challenges facing educational leaders.
