Description
Achieving Equity and Justice in Education through the Work of Systems Change offers a new way of thinking about how to address the deep disparities between Black and White children within our nation's school. The focus of the work going forward must be on dismantling inequitable policies and practices through a systems change approach.
In Achieving Equity and Justice in Education through the Work of Systems Change, Dr. Neitzel contends that our nation is at a crossroads. Do we continue with the band aid approach to equity that is focused on implementing isolated intervention programs aimed at reducing the achievement gap? Or do we embrace systems change, which requires us to focus on disrupting the roots that are sustaining deep disparities between Black and White students? She guides readers through the history of the educational system to facilitate a greater understanding about how barriers have morphed to disadvantage Black students and why systems change is necessary to address racial inequities within our schools. She lays out a systems change framework that provides the path forward for educational leaders, teachers, policy makers, and community members. The Work identifies key issues that must be addressed and offers a revolutionary new way of thinking about how to bring about lasting change for all students.
