Series: Educational Leadership: Innovative, Critical and Interdisciplinary Perspectives

This book explores a range of issues related to minority educational leaders' role in their society, in particular those working in a divided society under conflict.

The political and cultural challenges faced by minorities in divided societies raise the specific and important need to study leadership from a new perspective, based on the leaders' role in their society and community, and on their role in leveraging their school toward integration in their society while staying aligned with environmental changes.

The authors present a new theoretical framework of ""leadership for society"" with practical implications for effective leadership in complex societies. The book also develops our understanding of minority education in the reality of conflicts between the state and the minority's identity. The authors believe that school leaders’ participation in the extended community will improve and affect the development of schools and enable leaders to negotiate cultural, social and political complexities.

Reviews for Leadership for Society: Leading Education for Social Integration and Mobility

Leadership for Society is derived from the crucible of experience encountered within a unique educational context. It surpasses yet another additive genre in the field by offering a practical model of leadership aimed to enhance the future efficacy of minority schools. As such, this extremely topical commentary warrants close attention. -- Simon Clarke, The University of Western Australia, Australia Leadership for Society is a comprehensive and timely resource that addresses a critical need in educational leadership. This book is an invaluable tool for educational leaders, including school principals and district leaders, who are committed to advancing equity and inclusion within their schools and communities. The authors bring forth diverse perspectives, offering an innovative integration model that highlights practical applications from the real world of educational leadership. This approach not only enriches the readers’ understanding but also provides actionable strategies to foster social integration and mobility in educational settings. -- Khalid Arar, Texas State University, USA
