Practicing equity in our schools can ensure all students master rigorous standards and graduate high school college and/or career ready. The author, a long-time public-school educator, helps her colleagues understand more deeply what the practice of equity involves and how to use it to create cultures and systems in our current schools that go beyond a rudimentary education for some students to ensuring even the most marginalized of students achieve at the highest levels. This book encourages teachers, principals, and district leaders to each maximize the practice of equity in their various positions so that together we ensure a bright future for our children and our country. Equity practices in nurturing school culture, reading instruction, content area literacies, effective instructional practices, student supports, social services, and distribution of resources is required to ensure equality in outcomes so that education truly becomes the great equalizer Horace Mann proclaimed it to be.
