Abstract | This paper discusses the results of an exploratory study that sought to identify elementary school principals' perspectives of diversity and multiculturalism in relation to their leadership styles. In particular, we examine the approaches to multiculturalism of a group of principals who lead multicultural schools in Cyprus and analyse the findings with regard to both multicultural and leadership theory. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with 17 principals. The major findings show that almost half of the principals adopted a combination of conservative multiculturalism and transactional leadership style. However, a small number of principals took a somewhat different stance that indicated perspectives of critical multiculturalism embedded in critical and social justice leadership. The implications of this study are discussed with respect to issues of practice and leadership preparation as well as at the systemic, school and personal levels. (Contains 3 notes.) (As Provided). |
