Shattering Inequities is a powerful yet practical guide for educators who seek to address deeply entrenched disparities in the educational experiences of their students. Written in a style that is clear and direct, this book will serve as an invaluable asset to educators who seek to make a difference in their schools, and in the lives of the children they serve., In Shattering Inequities, former California school administrator Robin Avelar La Salle and co-author Ruth S. Johnson, an emeritus faculty member at California State University, detail how to address deeply entrenched disparities in a practical and sensitive way. Each chapter revolves around a real-life example derived from the authors' work in improving schools and districts serving high-poverty, high-minority communities. As they unravel processes and the assumptions on which they are based, the authors provide what equity leaders should say and do when they encounter obstacles. They even suggest how leaders with an equity lens should respond when they don't know what to say and do. This book is powerful because of its specificity and concreteness -- attributes not always found in education leadership texts. This is real-world wisdom indeed., In Shattering Inequities, former California school administrator Robin Avelar La Salle and co-author Ruth S.

The reader profits from what we'e(tm)ve learned from academic research, combined with the authors'e(tm) years of on-the-ground experience working in schools. Avelar La Salle and Johnson provide a myriad of proven strategies for imagining and instituting new practices that enable all students to achieve academic success.
