School districts are experiencing increasing economic, racial,
ethnic, linguistic, gender and sexuality, cultural diversity across
the United States and globally. With increasing diversity and
persistent social inequities widening (National Center for
Educational Statistics, 2019; U.S. Census Data, 2018), educational
leaders face immense challenges and must actively work to build an
equitable, healthy school climate. Educational leaders are critical
for ensuring positive student outcomes and success, but often
report feeling inadequately prepared for current challenges
(Coalition for Teacher Equality, 2016; Jordan, 2012; Miller, 2013;
Mitani, 2018; Papa, 2007). Unfortunately, growing challenges are
contributing to high school administrator turnover rates and
shortages (Gates et al., 2006; Jacob et al., 2015; Mordechay &
Orfield, 2017) as well as perpetuating social inequities among
preK- 12 students instead of dismantling them (Beckett, 2018;
Fuller, 2012; Manna, 2015; Rangel, 2018; Shankar-Brown, 2015). A
research study by the National Association of Secondary School
Principals (NASSP) and the Learning Policy Institute (LPI) reveals
that public schools with higher percentages of low-income students
and students of color are more likely to experience administrative
and teacher turnover, which compounds equity issues affecting
already vulnerable students (Levin and Bradley, 2019). This book
provides educational leaders with a deeper understanding of
equity-focused and inclusive leadership practices, while offering
intersectional views on social inequalities and stark reminders of
the work still ahead. Connecting theory to practice, this book
offers needed encouragement and inspiration to both in-service and
practicing educational leaders. Rooted in social justice and
weaving together diverse voices, this edited volume systematically
examines equity-focused PreK-12 and higher education leadership
practices. Shankar-Brown (Ed.) calls on educational leaders to
collectively rise and mindfully work together to bend the arc
toward justice.
