While I was assigned to read this text I did appreciate the timeliness of it. The message is well received in that there is plenty of work to be done because there are schools that are leaps and bounds ahead of my own. We can talk all we want about the concept of equity, but we don't have any follow-through.

Lots of examples of equity with very little practical use.

Very applicable to anyone wondering how equity can be achieved.

This is a collection of stories from change makers in schools. Performance assessment, de-tracking, literacy development. And more. Good examples and high level description of each.

A follow up to Failure is not an Option, this book expands on the first book, but adds the critical importance of equity. Excellent follow up to the first book.
