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. Based on 25 years of research and analysis of over 300 schools and districts, the book identifies five common systemic inequity traps that have contributed to historic achievement patterns. Through real-life stories and actionable insights, the authors provide education leaders with pathways to reverse decades of under-achievement and create a more equitable education system. The book includes equity hooks, which are easy-to-remember cues for complete, complex, and nuanced leadership takeaways, and online templates that can be used by teams of leaders to apply the guidance from each chapter to their school systems. By implementing these strategies, vulnerable students can arrive at the spot where equity lives, where demographics no longer predict achievement.
