Download or read book Equity Warriors written by George S. Perry, Jr. and published by Corwin Press. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Equity leadership is a complex and often perilous endeavor -- particularly in our current era of political polarization. The fundamental (and paradoxical) challenge is advancing equity in a system that was never designed to serve all children. Deep systemic change will happen only when educators and their community partners understand how the interlocking systems in education operate and learn how to crack the codes that have perpetuated those systems. A number of books on equity leadership focus on single improvement strategies such as equity audits, equitable grading practices, and cultural competence. However, there are few guides to navigating the complex barriers to implementing deep rooted change. The proposed title is unique in that it honors the complexity of such change but, at the same time, equips leaders with actionable, strategic moves to advance an equity agenda. And, while knowing these moves is important, knowing when to make the moves is critical. The moves are non-linear, interconnected and sometimes overlapping, possibly ambiguous and always situational"--

Download or read book Culturally Responsive School Leadership written by Muhammad Khalifa and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2020-07-27 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Culturally Responsive School Leadership focuses on how school leaders can effectively serve minoritized students—those who have been historically marginalized in school and society. The book demonstrates how leaders can engage students, parents, teachers, and communities in ways that positively impact learning by honoring indigenous heritages and local cultural practices. Muhammad Khalifa explores three basic premises. First, that a full-fledged and nuanced understanding of “cultural responsiveness” is essential to successful school leadership. Second, that cultural responsiveness will not flourish and succeed in schools without sustained efforts by school leaders to define and promote it. Finally, that culturally responsive school leadership comprises a number of crucial leadership behaviors, which include critical self-reflection; the development of culturally responsive teachers; the promotion of inclusive, anti-oppressive school environments; and engagement with students’ indigenous community contexts. Based on an ethnography of a school principal who exemplifies the practices and behaviors of culturally responsive school leadership, the book provides educators with pedagogy and strategies for immediate implementation.
Download or read book Entry Planning for Equity Focused Leaders written by Jennifer Perry Cheatham and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2022-08-16 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vital resource for educational leaders, Entry Planning for Equity-Focused Leaders introduces an equity-minded process for intentional entry planning that sets the stage for sustainable change within organizations. In this practitioner-focused and action-oriented work, Jennifer Perry Cheatham, Rodney Thomas, and Adam Parrott-Sheffer consolidate their extensive experience centering equity in leadership. They affirm that the entry of a new leader, or the pivot of an established one, affords an unparalleled opportunity to garner the insight, trust, and commitment that will establish a basis for positive, equitable transformation within a system. This essential work provides a flexible framework for leadership entry that is customized to fit the complex social, political, and economic demands of a given organization and the community it serves. It highlights how such an approach prepares leaders to begin addressing one of the most entrenched and persistent issues in education: structural and systemic racism. Appealing to community and school leadership at all levels—superintendents, principals, project managers, and nonprofit partners, among others—the book presents seven components needed to enact an entry plan, from understanding context, to establishing transparency, to galvanizing partners for action. Through case studies and interviews, the authors explore the key skills necessary for each component. They then offer a wide range of supplementary tools and exercises to help leaders begin or recast their tenures and advance their agendas successfully. The process outlined here encourages readers to reflect, take calculated risks, and chart new paths. This book gives leaders the means to make necessary, meaningful progress.

Book excerpt: This timely guide will help leaders of color succeed within white spaces while working to dismantle those spaces for a new system where they—and students—thrive.

Book excerpt: In her new book, prominent professional developer Yvette Jackson focuses on students' strengths, rather than their weaknesses, To reinvigorate educators to inspire learning and high intellectual performance.

Jackson addresses how educators can systematically support the development of motivation, reflective and cognitive skills, and high performance when standards and assessments are predisposed to non-conceptual methods. Furthermore, she examines challenges and offers strategies for dealing with cultural disconnects, The influence of new technologies, and language preferences of students.
