This book describes and demystifies the factors that have helped accomplished schools generate successful and equitable outcomes for all their students, regardless of racial/ethnic background, language, or income. Grounded in observations of award-winning schools and high-functioning teams that have achieved impressive results, this practical resource explores success from the perspective of leadership teams. As a K-12 educator at any level of leadership or within a leadership team, you can influence the success of all groups of students! This book describes what leadership teams do to ensure success, why those accomplishments are so important to the success of diverse populations of students, why the pursuit of those accomplishments is challenging in many schools across the country, and how leadership teams can take practical steps toward those accomplishments, even in difficult situations. Rich in clear examples, this book is for any educator interested in developing a deeper understanding of what their leadership teams need to change and how they might work together to lead their students to attain ambitious academic, personal, and professional goals.
