Recenzii
"A
good
first
step
for
school
leaders
looking
to
address
inequalities
in
their
schools.
I
particularly
like
the
authors’
recognition
that
to
conduct
an
equity
audit
is
not
enough—one
needs
to
become
an
equity-oriented
change
agent."
"Achieving equity in our schools is not something we have to do for NCLB; it is something we must do for our kids! This book frames this task, tells us who can make it happen, and shows us how to do it."
"A myriad of ideas and suggestions that can be used on a small scale in a small school or department, or on a large scale throughout a district. The book is unique in my experience and makes a definite contribution. The chapter on developing teacher skills is the best and most useful account I’ve encountered in recent memory, and the entire premise of the book has the potential to raise the level of discourse on issues of equity in our schools, as well as what we can do to make schools better."
"The book offers many wonderful strategies and suggestions. It allows leaders to institute analysis and change in a very effective manner."
"Concise, coherent, thought provoking, inspiring, and a true call to action. The authors have set before us rich food for thought, dialogue, and action in very few pages of text!"
"An excellent book for training those seeking administrative certification. The material is well-documented, useful for improving teacher quality, and a good guidebook for providing insights to reducing bias and prejudice in all aspects of academia. Succinct, useful, adaptable, and practical."
