Recensioner i media

The relevance and significance of this book is based on the data-supported contention that in order for Black students to achieve in schools, it will require a concerted effort from educators and administrators. Specifically, educational professionals and school leaders will have to seriously question their assumptions about themselves, Black Americans, as well as the historical origins of inequality. Equipped with this knowledge, educational leaders will be in a stronger position to make better curriculum and instructional choices as well as more equitable classroom management decisions. Overall, the chapters in the book reinforce the notion that improving educational leaders’ skills in America’s schools will require a sincere desire to radically change perspectives and practices by integrating a rigorous and somewhat sensitive curriculum based on anti-discrimination topics.
