What every principal needs to know to create equitable and excellent schools

Friends & Colleagues,

George Theoharis and I have edited a new book that will come out this August.  This books offers essential information for schools leaders who are seeking to work at the intersection of instructional leadership and equity.  We support the argument that effective principals are critical in creating more equitable schools and improving student learning for all students. Yet, such an assertion must now be extended beyond abstract platitudes and must instead be grounded in educational, indeed instructional access, processes and outcomes. Leaders with content-embedded knowledge will have the confidence to not turn over or abdicate leadership to others, but to take an active role with their teachers in effective equity-oriented reforms. This book seeks to help address this key intersection between instructional leadership and creating equitable and excellent schools.

We organized the book and structure, but the strength of the book comes from key scholars from content areas (literacy, math, special ed, ESL, etc).  These scholars have written insightful chapters that give school leaders a deeper sense of the specific content area that highlight  best practices, equity issues, and ideas for practice. We are delighted by how accessible and  rich each chapter turned out.  We hope you might be interested.

Attached is the promotional flyer that Teachers College Press created for the book.

Please send this info to others and let us know if you have any questions.

Best,
Jeff Brooks

  1. For the last few decades secondary students strive to complete bestsamplepapers.com paper writing on a variety of topics for their universities as well as we did for our colleges years before. New technologies and a growing popularity of distant learning might become a sufficient alternative to the currently established educational system. Why not try studying without boundaries. You can get even more from online studies.
