The SecEd Podcast: Diversity in School Leadership

This episode looks at leadership diversity in schools, offering a practical discussion about what diverse leadership looks like, how we can develop diverse leadership culture, and the benefits this can bring.

We discuss how we “practise” diverse leadership – what should be in place to do it well and what are the crucial factors? How can we be vulnerable and admit mistakes – embracing the fear that this work can generate? What should we avoid when trying to achieve diverse leadership?

We tackle the implications for recruitment processes, considering dos and don’ts. How do we create an inclusive culture and avoid tokenism? How can we ensure school priorities are equitable and inclusive? We also consider useful further reading, networks, and resources.

This podcast follows previous episodes on diversity in the classroom and creating a culture of diversity across the school.
