ABSTRACT

This article provides a practical agenda for educational leaders to address diversity in their organization. Firstly, loose definitions of the term diversity have led to its wide misuse; leaders need to agree with their community on its contextual definition. Secondly, the theoretical underpinnings of diversity have been limited to critical theory and have largely been in response to inequality. Leaders can explore various theories that frame their understanding of diversity. Finally, inclusion of non-Western leadership voices has occurred only at preliminary levels, and mainly concerned with numeric representation. Consequently, the agenda for diversity needs to address definition, theory, and manifestation.

摘要

本文为教育领导者提供了一个实用的议程，以解决其组织中的多样性问题。首先，多样性一词的松散定义导致其被广泛滥用；领导者需要就其上下文定义与他们的社区达成一致。其次，多样性的理论基础仅限于批判理论，并且主要针对不平等现象。领导者可以探索构成他们对多样性理解的各种理论。最后，非西方领导层的声音仅在初级阶段出现，主要涉及数字代表。因此，多样性议程需要解决定义、理论和表现形式。
