Where Equity Lives: Shattering Systemic Inequity in Schools and Districts is a groundbreaking book that challenges the notion that under-achievement among African American, Latino, Indigenous, low-income, and other vulnerable student groups is inevitable. Drawing on 25 years of research and analysis of over 300 schools and districts, the authors identify the five most common systemic inequity traps that have contributed to historic achievement patterns. Through real-life stories and actionable insights, the book provides education leaders with achievable paths to reverse decades of under-achievement. Each chapter includes equity hooks, which serve as memorable cues for complete, complex, and nuanced leadership takeaways. Additionally, online templates are available for teams of leaders to apply the guidance from each chapter to their school systems, ensuring that vulnerable students arrive at the spot where equity lives, where demographics no longer predict achievement. This book is a must-read for anyone committed to creating more equitable and inclusive schools and districts.
