Transformative Leadership in Education
Equitable, Inclusive, and Quality Education in an Uncertain and Complex World
About this book
Framed by real stories and grounded in research, the third edition of Transformative Leadership in Education presents an alternative approach to leadership that is engaged, active, and courageous. Noted scholar Carolyn M. Shields once again explores the concept of transformative leadership theory and its potential to create learning environments that are inclusive, excellent, equitable, and socially just, as required by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4, even in the face of the volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world of education today. Chapters combine contemporary research findings with stories of schools, leaders, students, teachers, and community members to demonstrate that transformative leadership can promote academic achievement, family and community empowerment, democratic engagement, and global citizenship. This exciting text will appeal to all aspiring and practicing leaders who want to create organizations that are equitable, inclusive, and excellent and that prepare students to be successful, caring, and engaged citizens of the global community.
New in this edition:
- Discussion of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 4: "to ensure inclusive, equitable and quality education and lifelong learning for all."
- Updated end-of-chapter guiding questions to help readers reflect on their own practice and to apply the concepts in their own contexts.
