The Effect of the School Principal in Creating an Inclusive School Culture during Times of Change and Challenge
Osiname, Ayodeji
BU Journal of Graduate Studies in Education, v8 n3 p51-54 2016
The purpose of this study was to examine the different leadership styles or ways that selected school principals use to encourage and sustain an inclusive school culture that eschews group think, to embrace difficult issues and challenging people while sustaining a positive culture, and to build a school community that supports diversity and embraces change. This research was guided by the following research questions: (1) How do principals in diverse schools conceptualize and vary leadership styles to encourage and sustain an inclusive culture in the school? (2) How do principals negotiate the politics of school change to deal with difficult issues and challenging people in the school while sustaining a positive school culture? (3) How do principals build cohesive cultures in their schools while addressing challenging situations?
