A vital resource for educational leaders, Entry Planning for Equity-Focused Leaders introduces an equity-minded process for intentional entry planning that sets the stage for sustainable change within organizations.In this practitioner-focused and action-oriented work, Jennifer Perry Cheatham, Rodney Thomas, and Adam Parrott-Sheffer consolidate their extensive experience centering equity in leadership. They affirm that the entry of a new leader, or the pivot of an established one, affords an unparalleled opportunity to garner the insight, trust, and commitment that will establish a basis for positive, equitable transformation within a system.This essential work provides a flexible framework for leadership entry that is customized to fit the complex social, political, and economic demands of a given organization and the community it serves. It highlights how such an approach prepares leaders to begin addressing one of the most entrenched and persistent issues in education: structural and systemic racism.Appealing to community and school leadership at all levels—superintendents, principals, project managers, and nonprofit partners, among others—the book presents seven components needed to enact an entry plan, from understanding context, to establishing transparency, to galvanizing partners for action. Through case studies and interviews, the authors explore the key skills necessary for each component. They then offer a wide range of supplementary tools and exercises to help leaders begin or recast their tenures and advance their agendas successfully.The process outlined here encourages readers to reflect, take calculated risks, and chart new paths. This book gives leaders the means to make necessary, meaningful progress.

An evidence-based guide for educational leaders who want to make positive change for our nation's youth, with an original, in-depth look at the political role of superintendentsThe superintendent's role looks different today. What was once viewed as an organizational leadership role is now understood as a civic leadership role, which requires unique political expertise. Superintendent as Civic Leader introduces an original framework for superintendents that will help them develop the necessary knowledge, skills, and dispositions to successfully perform as educational leaders in their local communities.In this book, the editors argue that understanding and dealing with complex political situations requires attention to three axes: the micro (understanding and navigating self), the meso (understanding and navigating the local community), and the macro (understanding and navigating the state and national context). With field-tested guidance from a collective made up of superintendents from across the US, leaders of influential educational organizations, and scholars of the politics of education, chapters offer real-world examples of leaders' political skills in action, re-building local trust, and mobilizing for change. Readers will come away with strategies to transform challenges into opportunities through key efforts such as relationship building, clear communications, and community engagement.Education leaders must embrace political leadership if they are to ensure that every child has access to a high-quality education. Their job is to bring people together in service of children, even when everything seems contested. For superintendents and other educational leaders, this book is an essential resource to not only understand today's politicized climate but also to navigate and serve as successful, effective leaders within it.
