With the increasing amount of diversity taking place in the United
States and in our K-12 schools, this book will help school leaders
become prepared. It is the school principal who sets the tone for
the school culture and provides the vision as to the direction of
the organization. Therefore, school principals will ultimately have
a great impact in promoting cultural and social diversity. School
Leadership in a Diverse Society: Helping Schools Prepare all
Students for Success (2nd Edition) will help scholars and
practitioners have a better understanding of the increasing amount
of diversity that is occurring in American society. This book will
give them the tools needed to lead schools to ensure that all
students, regardless of their life circumstances and status, are
provided a school experience that promotes high academic
achievement and a sense of belonging. Today, multiculturalism and
diversity preparation are needed in our society, seemingly more so
than when schools first made an earnest effort to integrate twenty
years after Brown V. Board of Education. Just as it seemed the
United States was making significant progress dealing with issues
that have plagued this country for hundreds of years, recently,
there has been a surge in diversity-related issues (the killing of
unarmed African Americans, the unwarranted attacks on Asians,
immigration debates, the recent rise of groups thatsupport white
supremacy, blackface incidents, increasing wealth divide between
the ultra rich and the poor, religious backlash, etc.). These
issues should remind us that the struggle for social equity
continues into the present moment. Communities must work together
to help fight rising intolerance and prejudice within our country
and schools.

This book enriches the discourse around Global Citizenship
Education in teacher education through the example of a teacher's
experience in a Canada-China Sister School reciprocal learning
landscape. Instead of positioning global citizenship teaching and
learning as a set of fixed goals to be attained by teachers alone,
this book approaches global citizenship teaching and learning as
unfinished lifework in progress and as situated curriculum problems
to be inquired together by university researchers, school teachers,
and students under the spirit of reciprocity and community. This
reimagination of narratives, theory, and action start from
collaborative and reciprocal learning partnerships among Chinese
and Canadian researchers and teachers in the practicality of
re-searching and re-enacting the purpose and meanings of
twenty-first century education in a Canada-China Sister School
setting.
