Now is the time for Breakthrough Leadership This book was borne out
of urgency. We face the consequences of a raging pandemic, coupled
with an unprecedented call to end racial injustice. COVID-19 has
exposed longstanding structural inequities, while at the same time
offering a rare "breakthrough" opportunity to dismantle inequitable
systems that have harmed our most marginalized students for
generations. Breakthrough Leadership is rooted in moral courage and
calls us to act upon a new discovery, or epiphany about a
fundamental truth that challenges previous beliefs. While this book
offers examples of schools that were "beating the odds"
pre-COVID-19 as well as strategies for changing those odds in the
future. Breakthrough Leadership also spotlights professionals now
leveraging crises like this to shape local and national priorities
toward a more equitable and healthy society for our children in
order to: Create and sustain Equitable Learning Communities (ELCs)
that are grounded in relational trust Establish comprehensive
systems to ensure that all students thrive Implement cutting-edge
principles of effective curriculum, instruction, and assessment
including culturally responsive teaching, trauma-informed practice,
and blended learning Meaningfully engage families and community
Leadership from the classroom to the board room is needed to
advance an agenda of equitable and successful outcomes for our
students. The facts stakes couldn't be starker. Good leadership
saves lives both in pandemics, and in our profession. "The critical
variable that determines whether or not our schools can respond
adequately to the numerous challenges that they and their children
face is leadership. . . This book is about the work of such
leaders. In big cities, small towns, and rural areas, a small
number of principals and superintendents are showing that progress
can be made when leaders have the resourcefulness and courage to
address equity challenges directly. The educational leaders
profiled in this book have a clear sense of how to systematically
build the capacity of teachers and schools to meet the needs of the
students they serve. I urge other leaders to learn from them so
that great schools that serve all children well, will be the norm,
rather than the exception." ~Pedro Noguera "With all its
devastation, COVID-19 also presents the opportunity of the century
to transform the public education system that, to say the least,
has become stalled and stagnant in the past 50 years. . . .
Breakthrough Leadership makes a significant contribution to our
next phase, which must be one of definable and targeted
transformation of equity-based learning. ~Michael Fullan
