Book Review

Principals are experiencing more diversity in their schools, whether racial, cultural or socio-economic. In School Leadership in a Diverse Society: Helping Schools Prepare All Students for Success, Floyd D. Beachum, associate professor of Educational Leadership at Lehigh, and Carlos R. McCray, associate professor of Educational Leadership at Fordham University, address the need for principals to balance educational excellence and equity as they deal with multicultural student populations.

“Beachum and McCray’s work represents a positive step forward for our understanding of issues related to school leadership, diversity and social justice. Their work is both theoretically sophisticated and practical enough to be of immediate use to both scholars and practitioners.”

—Jeffrey S. Brooks, chair, Department of Leadership & Counseling, University of Idaho

Beachum and McCray examine issues they consider critical for school leaders who want to be effective and relevant, and provide practical solutions.
