STRIVING FOR EQUITY

"Striving for Equity brings to light the complex and illuminating stories of thirteen longtime superintendents - all leaders of the Minority Student Achievement Network (MSAN) - who were able to make progress toward narrowing opportunity and achievement gaps in traditional school districts with diverse populations and multiple, competing agendas. Drawing on current research in organizational learning, the authors introduce a framework consistent with the systemic perspective of these superintendents to help school leaders who want to prioritize the narrowing of gaps."
