Schools do not always reflect the diverse cultural reality of our global societies. Educational leadership is an essential component of establishing school culture. Ensuring school leaders reflect deeply on the issues of diversity, multiculturalism and how leadership plays a role in constructing cultures that inhibit or promote inclusion as a way of life is an essential component of creating sustainable changes in our schools. However, leadership is no longer the sole purview of the principal or vice-principal. This article provides new lenses for viewing the notion of educational leadership and argues that creating conditions for increased leadership capacity among teachers in a learning community is an essential component of developing learning cultures where issues of diversity, multiculturalism, sustainability, and inclusion are explored and addressed.
