Description
Creating a school and community culture where students and staff are valued and respected and where the curriculum and students' social and emotional wellness are prioritized is at the heart of this book. Equity Implementation: A Case Study and Practices for Educators and Leaders is the follow-up to Shatter the System: Equity Leadership and Social Justice Advocacy in Education. This book draws on the major themes and frameworks presented in Shatter the System to take you on a journey in the life of a school district that reflects the many challenges and triumphs schools experience today. It highlights how educators and leaders within the Ascension School District, a fictitious district, collaborate with their students, school board members, colleagues, and other concerned partners to promote transformational changes to curriculum and social and emotional wellness for all members of the school's community. Equity-mindful and equity-minded reflections, practices, exercises, and activities are woven throughout the book to support individuals and professional learning communities to build the capacity of equity implementation through an institutional, individual, and interpersonal equity lens.
