In this practitioner-focused and action-oriented work, Jennifer Perry Cheatham, Ed.D.'10, Rodney Thomas, and Adam Parrott-Sheffer, Ed.M.'09, Ed.L.D.'20, 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.
