Makes diversity the responsibility of the whole school

This book does an excellent job of framing diversity as a concern and responsibility of the entire school community. This book takes the reader through a process of gathering important statistics that will illustrate the need for change in the school community. Capper et. al. handle the issues of minority students / staff, students with disabilities, students with diverse learning needs, students of lower-socioeconomic status, and issues of sexual orientation in the school community.The book has a practical approach that is more about giving classroom teachers the skills they need to help to help ALL students before there is a need to label them and place them in special programs.Their concept of "leading beyond inclusion" is cheaper and more effective for meeting the needs of students.
