Читать книгу Five Practices for Equity-Focused School Leadership - Sharon I. Radd - Страница 17

Recalling that inequity and inequality operate at all four levels of the system, most equity trainings and initiatives address only one or two: They teach about the historical and institutionalized nature of inequity and leave the participant to determine what to do differently at the individual and interpersonal level. Or they provide a technical solution at the individual and interpersonal level, something for the participant to do, but do not ensure that the strategy will make an impact in terms of the institutionalized, structural, or historical causes of inequity. This is one primary reason why equity efforts make little progress.

Instead, professional learning and equity leadership need to account for the full span of these levels; we organized this book accordingly. Practices II and III provide a format and process for improving your equity leadership at the individual and interpersonal levels. Practice IV helps you think about transforming systems to change both the institutionalized and structural aspects of inequity. Finally, Practice V describes how you can sustain equity change over time to transform the historical trajectory that influences schools today.
