Diversity and Inclusion in Educational Institutions

Today’s educational landscape requires practitioners to move from a teacher-centric to a more inclusive and student-centric approach. To address the diverse needs of students, educators must understand the challenges they face, and learn how to address them. This volume highlights the significance of diversity and inclusion practices in educational institutions.

“Diversity and Inclusion in Educational Institutions presents a masterful collection of inspiring perspectives, practices, and insights on inclusion and diversity in a variety of educational contexts. It is a resource for exploring institutional and micro interventions aimed at developing opportunities, capacities, and tools through equitable change for a fairer and more harmonious society. The expertly crafted chapters are useful for academics, researchers, and advocators of social justice seeking to optimize impact through transformative educational experiences worldwide.”

“In contrast with myriads of outdated and oversimplified texts in use, Diversity and Inclusion in Educational Institutions invites multiple voices presenting multiple perspectives on creating equitable and just educational paths developed for individual student needs. Understanding that there is not one “ism” nor fix, the authors heartfully present unique contexts within educational curricula to consider for educators working to embrace diverse and inclusive pedagogies.”
