Read this for a class I’m taking. It had some good ideas and arguments. It was helpful in guiding me to think more like a school leader than a teacher. I wish the instructor required the more recent version as this book, published in 2015, doesn’t include more recent barriers for students.

Definitely worth the modern educator's read!

Read for my grad class on equity…laid out pretty well, and makes sense.

I'm so glad I can get rid of this book now. Terrible. Both in terms of its writing and its content/ideas. Poor on both accounts. Honestly, it is embarrassing that someone took the time to write this.
