Principals of Inclusion: Practical Strategies to Grow Inclusion in Urban Schools

Inclusion is the key to reaching every student and achieving whole-school reform. A narrow focus on test scores leaves many students behind, and too often today's schools replicate the very injustices education aims to eliminate. In Principals of Inclusion, author Darrin Griffiths champions the return of a more holistic approach to school administration. As educators, he argues, we must support all of our children in their bid to achieve their full potential as learners and as human beings. The book identifies practical strategies to growing inclusion in urban schools based on the experiences of school principals.

Darrin Griffiths has worked as an educator in urban elementary schools for over twenty years, as a teacher, vice-principal, and principal. He is a critical pragmatist with a solid understanding of the complex nature of schooling and a commitment to equity for all students. He currently is a school principal in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
