Opis

Leading for Equity tells the compelling story of the Montgomery County (Maryland) Public Schools and its transformation in less than a decade into a system committed to breaking the links between race and class and academic achievement.

In chapters organized around six core themes, the authors lay out the essential elements of MCPS s success. They identify key lessons other districts can draw from MCPS s experience and offer a framework for applying them. A dramatic departure from business as usual, MCPS has won nationwide attention as a compelling model for tackling the achievement and opportunity issues that confront our nation as a whole."
