The third edition of the best-selling Leadership for Increasingly Diverse Schools helps both practicing and aspiring school leaders deepen their knowledge, skills, and dispositions to create schools that best serve all students. This book helps readers sharpen their awareness of how students' multiple dimensions of diversity intersect, as well as develop strategies for leading schools where students of all socioeconomic statuses, races, religions, gender and sexual identities, languages, and disabilities flourish. Leadership for Increasingly Diverse Schools provides school leaders with the theory, research, and practical guidance to foster teaching and learning environments that promote educational equity and excellence for all students.

Special features:

• Each chapter focuses on a specific dimension of diversity and discusses intersectionality across other areas of difference, including disability, language, race, socioeconomic status, sexual and gender identity, religion, and social ecosystems.
• Chapters synthesize literature, share practical strategies and tools, include school-level and district-level cases illustrating inclusive leadership, and provide extended learning opportunities.
• This new edition is updated throughout, including greater focus on strategies for readers' professional development, expanded coverage of educational infrastructure, and discussion of current political context and discourse including anti-DEI movements.
