The book addresses the growing recognition of cultural differences between societies and the resultant differences in schooling. It also deals with vital issues relating to multicultural education and the leadership of multicultural schools. Drawing on their first-hand experience, the authors explore the differences evident in classroom teaching and learning, as well as organizational, leadership and management aspects of schools. They show how such differences can make over-reliance on Anglo-American approaches misleading, ineffective and restrictive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey features of the book include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- a methodology to support the emerging field of international and comparative educational leadership and management \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- in-depth comparative analysis of Anglo-American and Asian schooling and educational management\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- the leadership of multi-cultural schools\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is essential reading for professionals and students of educational leadership and management, as well as administrators. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.51 x 9.64 x 6.68 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 05, 2010\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42131828605063,"sku":"9780761971702","price":171.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/c6d9931353f674502a70729d6f82b45e.webp?v=1732621607","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/educational-leadership-culture-and-diversity-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
