As a result, the culture of school is often "Balkanized"--making effective leadership a particularly difficult challenge. Inclusive Leadership draws on James Ryan's groundbreaking research to present a powerful new idea--leadership as an intentionally inclusive practice that values all cultures and types of students in a school. This important book shows that inclusion must encompass all types of difference in students, teachers, and 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, James Ryan sketches out the dimensions of exclusion, analyzes the research on inclusive leadership, and offers practical suggestions for promoting and practicing inclusive leadership. Inclusive Leadership 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. |
