This book takes a different approach to eradicating educational disparities. Drawing on more than forty interviews with teachers, principals, and district leaders, Manya C. Whitaker offers educators guidance for leading a school or district grounded in social justice that centers teachersnot just teaching practicesand that focuses on the belief systems that shape decision-making.\n\nThe chapters walk educational leaders through a strategic approach to long-term change: from school planning for family and communit.
