Inclusive Leadership and Social Justice for Schools

Abstract

This article sketches out a framework for inclusive leadership. As one of the constellation of approaches to leadership and social justice, inclusive leadership is concerned first and foremost with inclusion, both in its processes and the ends for which it strives. It provides another lens to help those concerned with social justice recognize social injustice in communities and schools and do something about it. The article is organized in the following manner. First, the concepts of leadership and social justice are introduced. Next, I explore the relationship between social justice and inclusion. This is followed by an account of inclusion and leadership. Finally, I describe inclusive leadership practices.
