Inclusive Leadership draws on James Ryan's groundbreaking
research to present a powerful new idea - leadership as an
intentionally inclusive practice that values all cultures and types
of students in a school. This important book shows that inclusion
must encompass all types of difference in students, teachers, and
parents - from the single mother to the new immigrant, from the
parents working night jobs, to the homeless child, to issues of
race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation. In four fascinating
chapters, James Ryan sketches out the dimensions of exclusion,
analyzes the research on inclusive leadership, and offers practical
suggestions for promoting and practicing inclusive leadership.

This book is a volume in the Jossey-Bass Leadership Library in
Education--a series designed to meet the demand for new ideas
and insights about leadership in schools.

Making Inclusive Leadership Work

"Learning to live with our differences and to create institutions that both respect those differences and subject them to critical scrutiny is the primary task for the twenty-first century. Inclusive Leadership presents a new and exciting paradigm for educational leadership built around this challenge. It's a 'must read' for teachers, administrators, and policy makers."-- Richard Bates, faculty of education, Deakin University, Australia

"More than simply a book about diversity, Jim Ryan's Inclusive Leadership takes educational leadership to the next level."-- Duncan Waite, editor, The International Journal of Leadership in Education

"This book provides practitioners and scholars with the essence of inclusive leadership, which provides all stakeholders with an opportunity to influence education."-- Margaret Grogan, professor and chair, Educational Leadership and Policy Analysis, University of Missouri-Columbia

"Educating for and with diversity is perhaps the greatest challenge facing schools today. Jim Ryan's book will help every educator think through the issues and strategies involved in meeting this challenge."-- Ben Levin, Deputy Minister of Education, Ontario, Canada
