Martin, Barbara Nell; Miller, Catherine
AERA Online Paper Repository, Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the American Educational Research Association (San Antonio, TX, Apr 27-May 1, 2017)
This inquiry sought to construct meaning using an invitational leadership lens in relation to how Principals are prepared to lead in schools with diverse student populations. Data revealed Principals' perceptions about preparation related to invitational leadership emphasized contradictions between Principals' inviting-oriented rhetoric and their underlying beliefs regarding diverse student populations. Implications include opportunities that Principal preparation programs include invitational leadership at the forefront in social justice leadership as they prepare leaders working in diverse student populations.
