NEW in 2021:
FIVE PRACTICES FOR EQUITY-FOCUSED SCHOOL LEADERSHIP
This timely and essential book provides a comprehensive guide for school leaders who desire to engage their school communities in transformative systemic change. Sharon I. Radd, Gretchen Givens Generett, Mark Anthony Gooden, and George Theoharis offer five practices to increase educational equity and eliminate marginalization based on race, disability, socioeconomics, language, gender and sexual identity, and religion. For each dimension of diversity, the authors provide background information for understanding the current realities in schools and beyond, and they suggest “disruptive practices” to replace the status quo in order to achieve full inclusion and educational excellence for every child.
Assuming that leadership to create equity is a unique practice, the book offers
* Clear explanations of foundational terms and concepts, such as equity, systemic inequity, paradigms and cognitive dissonance, and privilege;
* Specific recommendations for how to build support and sustainability by engaging colleagues and other stakeholders in constructive dialogues with multiple perspectives;
* Detailed descriptions of routines and roles for building effective equity-leadership teams;
* Guidelines and tools for performing an equity audit, including environmental scans;
* A change framework to skillfully transform your system; and
* Reflection activities for self-discovery, understanding, and personal and professional growth.
A call to action that is both passionate and practical, Five Practices for Equity-Focused School Leadership is an indispensable roadmap for educators undertaking the journey toward an education system that acknowledges and advances the worth and potential of all students.
In an effort to address the overwhelming response to Five Practices for Equity-Focused School Leadership (ASCD, 2021) and support school leaders in practice, the authors created The Five Practices Group, a consulting partnership providing leaders with learning, processes, tools, and support to engage in the deeply disruptive nature of equity change with thoughtful attention to fundamental human needs for connection, growth, and homeostasis (the5practicesgroup.com).
