The pathway to uncovering and dismantling inequities Educational
leaders who work in the district, site, or classroom level know
that opportunity gaps have long been a focus of education policy in
the United States. Leadership can be a critical lever for advancing
policies that oppose racism and confront systemic inequities. In
meeting this challenge, educators have found that acknowledging
beliefs and behaviors is critical. Still, deficit-based thinking,
especially due to privilege, remains a barrier to equity. Among the
most damaging blind spots is the continuation of practices that are
grounded in the values of entitled groups. Leading Change Through
the Lens of Cultural Proficiency tells the story of a school
community in the midwest United States that contended with its
approach to teaching and valuing students of diverse backgrounds.
Featuring the research-based Cultural Proficiency Framework and
Tools, the book provides a clear road map to advancing equity
across schools and districts. Designed to support leaders and
school communities in developing policies and practices that
respond to the needs of all students, this book Guides school
leaders in a journey of learning the theory and strategies that
improved student achievement and improved the working conditions in
this district Features a real-life case study of a school community
using the Tools of Cultural Proficiency and the Framework Provides
vignettes and data, based on work conducted across an actual school
district, that resulted in improvements in school climate,
achievement, mindset, and equitable educational practices Includes
powerful reflection, dialogic, and action activities for use in a
variety of community learning modalities Is grounded in
assets-based assumptions with respect to students, families, and
the school community With a focus on engagement, leadership,
implementation frameworks, and collaborative learning, the authors
demonstrate how to uncover and remedy inequities. Designed for
education leaders at all levels of the education system, this is
the ideal foundational text for implementing Cultural Proficiency
in your setting as you open doors for all students to thrive.
