Leading for Equality: Making Schools Fairer

The authors show school leaders how to put concepts of equality into practice by considering values, attitudes, structures, and pedagogy, focusing on practice in the UK, but with relevance to other European countries and elsewhere. They describe ideas and policies related to equality, as well as intersectionality, and equality in relation to socioeconomic class, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, religion, migrant status, and special learning needs. Case studies are provided throughout. Annotation ©2017 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
