Description

This chapter explores the obstacles that minority women in K-12 education leadership must overcome, emphasizing the critical importance of acknowledging barriers and prejudices. Notwithstanding its underrepresentation, their leadership demonstrates a steadfast dedication to diversity and offers distinctive viewpoints. Mentorship programs, educational institutions, and policymakers all play a crucial role in promoting diversity via inclusive practices and supportive policies. The recommendations include fostering an environment of inclusiveness, providing training on diversity, implementing precise career trajectories, and acknowledging and commemorating the accomplishments of a wide range of individuals. Collaborative endeavours and inclusive approaches aim to establish educational leadership that is fair, diverse, and student-focused. Addressing inequalities is critical to establishing inclusive and resilient educational environments where mental health should be regarded as a fundamental right, highlighting the convergence of mental health and human rights. 2024, IGI Global.
