When it comes to addressing inequities within our schools, efforts often overlook the underlying beliefs that perpetuate injustice. Instead, they focus on short-lived policies and practices that may provide temporary relief but fail to address the root causes of educational disparities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book takes a different approach to eradicating educational disparities. Through more than forty interviews with teachers, principals, and district leaders, Manya C. Whitaker offers educators guidance for leading a school or district grounded in social justice. The book centers teachers, not just teaching practices, and emphasizes the belief systems that shape decision-making.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe chapters of the book walk educational leaders through a strategic approach to long-term change. This includes school planning for family and community engagement, hiring and onboarding teachers, and sustaining equity through multifaceted professional development and equitable evaluation. Concrete \"how-to\"s are provided throughout, along with reflection questions to help readers apply the content to their specific context.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor any school or district leader intent on addressing the many inequities highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, this book is an essential manual. It provides a roadmap for creating a more just and equitable education system that provides all students with the opportunities they deserve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 526g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032596778\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ManyaWhitaker","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44744530002170,"sku":"9781032596778","price":23.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_77790824-1de5-49d4-82f2-12698090736e.jpg?v=1699396615","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/public-school-equity-educational-leadership-for-justice-9781032596778","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
