Leadership for Increasingly Diverse Schools

"Scholars and practitioners of educational leadership and administration have needed this book for such a long time. Theoharis and Scanlan and their contributing authors, at last, have provided us with a comprehensive book that brings together in one place current research, tested strategies, useful tools, and high-leverage leadership practices for schools serving diverse students, families, and communities." --Linda Skrla, Professor and Department Chair of Educational Administration and Leadership, University of the Pacific "In this book, Theoharis and Scanlan have brought together an impressive group of leading experts to answer the most important topic in contemporary education-how do we create and sustain a vibrant and relevant education that serves and excites students and educators in an increasingly pluralistic society? The book is full of innovative and cutting-edge perspectives, as well as courses of action that will engage and inform educational leaders, school board members, scholars, community advocates, and policy makers. I highly recommend this book to anyone passionate about schools and education, and it is a MUST read for all educational leaders." --Jeffrey S. Brooks, Professor of Educational Leadership, Monash University
