This volume offers the personal narratives of school, district, and
state education leaders engaged in ongoing pursuits of equity, as
well as findings from research and from research-practice
partnerships. The chapters offer glimmers of hope through glimpses
into the experiences of education leaders in the US and New
Zealand. None of the stories told offer a fool-proof formula for
achieving the goal of culturally responsive, socially just,
equity-minded schools. They each present the inherent complexities
of enacting change in schools and school systems, and the blunders
that happen along the way. Each chapter begins with guiding
questions to focus readers' attention as they listen to - and
really hear - the lived experiences of these authors. Chapters end
with reflection questions to push others to work to move aspiration
into action, to build ideas of how to engage with communities in
meaningful and productive ways, and how to keep stoking the passion
and dedication to face the next hurdle. Taken as a whole, the book
offers a reminder to pause and celebrate small successes along the
way. The disproportionate impact of the pandemic on communities of
color make an edited volume with accessible stories of culturally
responsive leadership for social justice particularly relevant,
even necessary.
