Session Type: Business Meeting

Abstract

The Leadership for Social Justice (LSJ) SIG Business Meeting will include a Book Talk and discussion by authors Sharon I. Radd, Gretchen Givens Generett, Mark Anthony Gooden, and George Theoharis on their forthcoming book entitled “Five Practices for Equity-Focused School Leadership”.

About This Book
This timely and essential book provides a comprehensive guide for school leaders who desire to engage their school communities in transformative systemic change. Sharon I. Radd, Gretchen Givens Generett, Mark Anthony Gooden, and George Theoharis offer five practices to increase educational equity and eliminate marginalization based on race, disability, socioeconomics, language, gender and sexual identity, and religion. For each dimension of diversity, the authors provide background information for understanding the current realities in schools and beyond, and they suggest "disruptive practices" to replace the status quo in order to achieve full inclusion and educational excellence for every child.
