Synopsis

This edited volume examines the causes, consequences, and costs of workplace incivility in P-12 education and provides practical strategies for leaders to prevent toxicity in their schools and districts. The resource provides a broad range of thought-provoking and practical contributions that situate incivility within the current sociopolitical landscape of education. It also offers interventions to support civility and reduce harm within P-12 schools and districts. The volume is divided into three parts: considering the role of leaders and preparation programs in fostering civility; vulnerability, marginalization, and incivility; and incivility in context. Each chapter focuses on a central thesis related to incivility in P-12 educational contexts and includes key points and extension activities to guide leadership development and practice. This volume is for faculty and scholars of educational leadership as well as for current and aspiring leaders who are interested in cultivating educational spaces that are welcoming, affirming, healing, and connective.
