School Leadership for Refugees’ Education
School Leadership for Refugees’ Education examines how educational leaders shape and lead different practices to meet refugee students' educational needs, while also considering issues of equity and social justice. It presents cutting edge theoretical understanding and rich first- hand research findings which points out the local idiosyncrasies and cross-national themes involved in leading welcoming schools for newcomers.
The book provides a global analysis of policy guidelines and up-to-date research findings concerning refugee education. Vast populations have been forced to leave their homelands in recent years due to war, political conflict and economic collapse. The countries that provide sanctuary need to ensure quality education that will allow these destitute but hopeful children to build a new future. Through this book a comprehensive model is presented to guide culturally relevant educational leadership to welcome newcomers in their schools and society.
This book will be of great interest for academics, researchers, and post-graduate students in the fields of educational leadership, social justice education, and educational administration.
