Ensuring equity in our schools is crucial for all students to master rigorous standards and graduate high school college and/or career ready. The author, a long-time public-school educator, aims to help her colleagues understand the essence of equity and its application in creating cultures and systems that go beyond a basic education for some students to ensuring that even the most marginalized students achieve at the highest levels. This book encourages teachers, principals, and district leaders to maximize the practice of equity in their respective positions to create a bright future for our children and our country.

To achieve equity in outcomes, it is essential to implement equity practices in various areas such as nurturing school culture, reading instruction, content area literacies, effective instructional practices, student supports, social services, and distribution of resources. Education should truly become the great equalizer, as Horace Mann proclaimed it to be. By embracing equity in our schools, we can create a more inclusive and equitable learning environment for all students, preparing them for success in their future endeavors.
