School leadership and linguistic and ethnic diversity
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Management - Year 2011, Vol 10, Issue 2
Abstract
How can school leaders contribute to the inclusion of all students in meaningful learning? The article builds on analyses of interviews with school leaders in an upper secondary school in Norway in order to explore the leaders‘ expectations, meanings, and presuppositions about intercultural education. The analysis shows that for this school‘s leaders, coping with linguistic and ethnic diversity is primarily about linguistic integration, and that they do not recognize their students‘ heterogeneous cultural and linguistic background as resources in education.
