A guide to disrupting harmful mindsets and practices in our schools
so that students can thrive where they are.In many schools and
districts, students of color living in low-income communities are
told in simple and covert ways every day that they must leave their
communities if they want to be successful. The message may be
well-intentioned, but the leave to succeed (L2S) mindset is a
dangerous narrative that affects students' sense of self. Students
start to wonder: Are low-income or marginalized communities
inherently "bad"? What happens to the people who don't "make it
out"? Who is worthy of success? Instead, Nancy GutiÉrrez and
Roberto Padilla turn the L2S mindset on its head to interrogate how
school and district leaders can nurture and support students to
find success in their own communities. They share real-world
vignettes, reflection questions, and clear and simple tips to build
an asset-based, uplifting approach that honors the backgrounds,
cultures, and strengths of Black and Brown communities. You will
learn how to * Recognize how the L2S mindset is pervasive in many
schools. Encourage students to develop their unique stories of self
that highlight their cultural backgrounds. Build schools that are
innovative, offer a community-rich curriculum, and are held
accountable to provide deep learning to all students. Rewrite the
dominant narrative in your school system to become a disruptive yet
positive force in education. Embrace the moral responsibility to be
an equitable, fair, and compassionate leader to all students, no
matter their socioeconomic backgrounds. No one is truly served by
deficit-based narratives, and for every student to feel valued and
affirmed, schools and districts must embrace the idea that any
student in any school can stay in their community and prevail.
