The increasing diversity of cultural, ethnic, racial and tribal composition of societies in general and schools in particular signify the importance of multicultural education at all levels of education. In this context the roots of such a concept can be strengthened at school level in any community. Here the role of school leadership is imperative towards promoting intercultural harmony in the school environment in general and the curriculum and classroom practices in particular. This research sheds light on the perspectives of school leadership and the actual scenarios at school level to integrate intercultural education into mainstream curriculum and teaching-learning practices at schools.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to provide insight to the multiple ways that school leaders resist, avoid, or block LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender, queer, and questioning) professional development for their staff and, thus, resist the conversations around school responsibility to these students and families. Research Method: The data presented in this article include interviews and field notes drawn from evaluation studies of the Reduction of Stigma in Schools© professional development program and are related to a single emergent theme. Findings: School leaders who resisted LGBTQ professional development claimed such training was not relevant to their school contexts, the training would attract community backlash, the school board would not approve the training, or school personnel would not be interested in learning about LGBTQ students. Implications: The authors conclude that increasing LGBTQ content in educational leadership training is a necessary step for convincing school leadership that LGBTQ-competence is necessary for creating a positive school climate for all.

Taking a case study approach and utilizing Hoggan’s transformative learning (TL) typology and criteria as a framework, we examined the self-reported TL experiences of 12 local school leaders in Beijing, China. These local school leaders gained cross-cultural learning from a school leadership development program that was designed to prepare school leaders for education internationalization. Our data analysis indicated that these 12 local school leaders had experienced significant changes in their educational epistemology, self-identity, and school leadership practices. Further examining these changes at the intersection of the Confucian and Western cultural heritages, we discovered that these school leaders had developed an integrated approach to education, started to consciously reflect on what their social- and self-identities entail, and began the process of transitioning from conservative to appreciative school leadership practices.

This study explored the ways in which the race-gendered identities and lived experiences of Black male K-12 public and independent school leaders inform their leadership in support of students, community, and village. The study draws from critical theories and perspectives, including a framework of Black Masculine Caring (BMC), critical race theory, culturally relevant and responsive leadership, leadership for social justice, and their relationship to and with a theory of Black male school leadership. The qualitative study used survey, phenomenological, and visual elicitation methods to examine the personal and professional experiences, philosophies, and praxis of 14 Black male school leaders. Study findings are presented as an intergenerational dialog with participants, based on their years of leadership experience. These leaders exhibit a liberatory care-based approach to leadership as an expression of social justice advocacy, civil rights activism, community and evidenced action-orientated commitment to a dismantling of structured and systemic forms of racism, anti-Black racism entrenched segregation, and other inequities that discriminate and disproportionately marginalize significant numbers of students and their communities. As captured through the narratives shared, this is evidenced through greater, and positively encouraged, levels of parental and other community member involvement in school activities, as a core aspect of the leadership and decision-making processes. The research expands understanding of paradigms of critical race leadership and disrupts the normative educational leadership that ill-serve significant sections of our student populations and communities.

<p style="text-align: justify;">Researchers have conducted studies on the planning, implementation, management and evaluation of the <em>Adiwiyata </em>program in the context of school activities. However, a specific analysis has not been identified in the field of Learning Psychology and Environmental Counseling. The aim of this study is therefore to analyze the <em>Adiwiyata</em> program in the study of Learning Psychology and Ecological Guidance. This literature study was conducted by analyzing the primary sources of the Regulation of the Minister of the Environment of the Republic of Indonesia No. 05 of 2013 on the Guidelines for the Implementation of the <em>Adiwiyata</em> Program and No. P.52/Menlhk/Setjen/Kum.1/9/2019 on the Movement of Environmental Care and Culture in Schools (PBLHS Movement). The results showed that the psychology of learning of the <em>Adiwiyata</em> programme could be integrated into the learning process as well as educational facilities for students using the school environment by considering the psychological development of the students. In the meantime, the <em>Adiwiyata</em> program in the study of ecological counseling guidance can be internalized in creating programs or applied in guidance and counseling services for students to solve the problems and to form students' self-awareness and environmental awareness.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"> </p><p style="text-align: justify;"><em>Kajian</em> <em>penerapan</em> <em>program Adiwiyata mulai dari perencanaan, pelaksanaan, pengelolaan, serta evaluasi maupun penerapan dalam kegiatan di sekolah telah banyak dilakukan. Namun belum ditemukan analisis spesifik dalam kajian psikologi belajar dan bimbingan konseling ekologi. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis program Adiwiyata bagi siswa dalam kajian psikologi belajar dan bimbingan konseling ekologi. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi kepustakaan dengan menganalisis sumber primer dari Peraturan Menteri Lingkungan Hidup Republik Indonesia Nomor 05 Tahun 2013 Tentang Pedoman Pelaksanaan Program Adiwiyata dan Nomor P.52/Menlhk/Setjen/Kum.1/9/2019 Tentang Gerakan Peduli dan Berbudaya Lingkungan Hidup di Sekolah (Gerakan PBLHS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan program Adiwiyata berdasarkan kajian psikologi belajar dapat diintegrasikan dalam proses belajar mengajar maupun sarana edukasi siswa melalui pemanfaatan lingkungan sekolah dengan mempertimbangkan perkembangan psikologis siswa. Sedangkan Program Adiwiyata dalam kajian bimbingan konseling ekologi bisa diinternalisasi dalam pembuatan program maupun diaplikasikan dalam layanan bimbingan dan konseling bagi siswa untuk mendapatkan solusi atas masalahnya maupun membentuk kesadaran diri siswa maupun kesadaran pada lingkungan</em>.</p>

Anti-Blackness is global and present in every facet of society, including education. In this article, we examine the challenges Black girls encounter in schools throughout the United States. Guided by select research centered on Black women in their roles as mothers, activists and school leaders, we assert that sociologist Patricia Hill Collins’ concept of Motherwork should be an essential component in reframing the praxis of school leadership and in helping school leaders to rethink policies, practices, and ideologies that are anti-Black and antithetical to Blackness and Black girlhood. While most research aimed to improve the schooling experiences of Black children focuses on teacher and school leader (mis)perceptions and systemic racial biases, few studies build on the care and efficacy personified by Black women school leaders. We argue that the educational advocacy of Black women on behalf of Black children is vital to culturally responsive school leadership that combats anti-Blackness and honors Black girlhood. We conclude with implications for school leaders and those concerned with the educational experiences of Black children, namely Black girls.

Meta-analysis of physical activity interventions in school settings have revealed low efficacy and that there is a need to explore implementation fidelity. The aim of this rapid realist review was to determine, what physical activity interventions in school settings for children aged 7- to 11-years-old works, for whom, and in what circumstances. The realist synthesis was conducted following RAMESES guidelines. Relevant studies were identified following a systematic search process and data from 28 studies was extracted for evidence to form context-mechanism-outcome configurations that were clustered and refined. Using the five-level socioecological model, the program theories were classified into the levels of intrapersonal (child), interpersonal (teachers), institutional (program content, school administration, and school environment), community (home and neighborhood), and policy. The school level led to most context-mechanism-outcome configurations related to school leadership and policy, workforce structure, program characteristics, and school environment. At each level, we identified features of interventions, alongside implementation considerations that might work to promote efficacy and sustainability. The need to recognize the school environment as part of a complex system with multi-level interaction and influences was a key finding. In line with realist philosophy, the researchers encouraged primary research to confirm, refute, and refine the program theories presented.
