The author, Malaysian Chinese, held positions as school teacher and teacher trainer prior to school principal highlighted academic achievement in both schools using Malaysian public examinations – SPM and PMR as measures during her headship from 2007 through 2012. The first school, a predominantly Kadazan-Dusun community, was a large rural government day school with an enrolment of about 1500. The second school, with enrolment of about 1300, belongs to the “conforming school” or government aided school. This type of school serves primarily the Chinese community but over time, it is found to be quite diverse. The gain in SPM examination is 0.57 over four years in the first school and 0.68 in two years in the second school. The gain in PMR examination is 0.57 and 0.12 respectively. publisher: Institut Aminuddin Baki date: 2015 type: Article type: PeerReviewed format: application/pdf language: en identifier: http://eprints.iab.edu.my/v2/485/1/282.pdf identifier: Tai, Cheah Chu (2015) LEADING IN DIVERSITY: A TALE OF TWO SCHOOLS.
