An Agenda for Diversity: A Practical Guide for Educational Leaders
Nofal, Mozynah
Leadership and Policy in Schools, v22 n1 p30-43 2023
This article provides a practical agenda for educational leaders to address diversity in their organization. Firstly, loose definitions of the term diversity have led to its wide misuse; leaders need to agree with their community on its contextual definition. Secondly, the theoretical underpinnings of diversity have been limited to critical theory and have largely been in response to inequality. Leaders can explore various theories that frame their understanding of diversity. Finally, inclusion of non-Western leadership voices has occurred only at preliminary levels, and mainly concerned with numeric representation. Consequently, the agenda for diversity needs to address definition, theory, and manifestation.
