The ideal principal back in the 1980’s was an instructional leader who focuses on reform elements such as defining the mission of the school and setting school goals; manage educational production functions; promote academic learning climate and develop a strong culture at the school. If we look deeply into these four aspects we find that this is not a bad thing to do back in the 1980’s. In fact, it is an amazing and excellent job.
However, what if we added the new science of educational leadership known as the Three-B’s (Building, Bonding, and Banking)? Moreover, how would you behave as an educational leader or principle if you combined to the Three-B’s the quadrant: The Culture/Transformation Perspective, The Strategic/Results-Driven Perspective, and Linking Management Support to Educational Improvement Perspective?

Diversity-Oriented Leadership (DOL) is defined as the type of leadership which embraces differences within the community: In this case, among students. According to Egbo (2008) Diversity-Oriented Leaders see difference as a resource rather than a problem to be solved. They embrace more positive metaphors that see minority students who like other students, have needs that schools have the moral and ethical responsibility to determine, understand, and address.
