Publisher's Synopsis
Leaders of international schools face complex challenges when it comes to facilitating diversity and inclusion within their communities. With students, faculty, and staff from a wide range of cultural, linguistic, and socio-economic backgrounds, school leaders must create an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and included. This challenge is increased by various cultural expectations, differing educational norms, and the need to balance global perspectives within local communities. Effective leadership in these schools requires a better understanding of the diverse needs of the community, a commitment to equity, and the ability to implement policies and practices that promote inclusion across all levels of the school environment. Diversity and Inclusion Challenges for Leaders of International Schools offers solutions for academic leaders to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion within their schools. Through examples from international schools and educational platforms, it examines the challenges faced by educators across various cultures and communities. This book covers topics such as discrimination, student protection, and educational policy and reform, and is a useful resource for policymakers, educators, sociologists, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
