Perspectives on Diversity, Equity, and Social Justice in Educational Leadership cover

Perspectives on Diversity, Equity, and Social Justice in Educational Leadership provides educational leaders with practical steps for implementing multicultural education into schools. Drawing from multicultural scholars like James Bank’s it equips educational leaders with the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to ensure that schools provide all students with equal educational opportunities. Concepts such culturally responsive leadership, transformative leadership, and restorative justice are discussed throughout the book.

This book serves as an excellent source for educational leaders to incorporate multicultural education in our schools.  It provides and discusses effective strategies for leaders to ensure that all students are receiving equitable educational opportunities. -- Dr. Rose Duhon-Sells, Founder, National Association for Multicultural Education
Perspectives on Diversity, Equity, and Social Justice in Educational Leadership highlights the various ways in which educational leaders can implement school policies and practices to alleviate pressing and persistent academic disparities rooted in structural inequalities. Informed by theoretical approaches to transform schooling, these authors demonstrate the various ways in which education for social justice can be made tangible and concrete. In doing so, these authors provide a vision of possibility aimed at equitable schooling for educational leaders to make a difference within their spheres of influence. This volume promises to be a must read for those for whom the praxis of social justice in schooling is a compelling imperative.  -- Francisco Rios, Dean and Professor, Woodring College of Education
