This is an important book that explores the causes and consequences of educational inequality. Complex in nature with no easy system fixes, the book showcases school and college-based approaches of tackling educational inequality. This book is a ‘must’ for educational leaders at all levels.
Jacek Brant, Associate Professor in Education, UCL Institute of Education, University College London, UK
This timely and humane book discusses the myriad challenges faced by school leaders when working with students, families, and communities, who suffer from disadvantage in multiple areas of their lives. Each chapter opens with an overview of the rationale behind it and closes with a summary of the main points and practical suggestions for action, drawing on a wide range of up-to-date materials from both UK and international sources. It will be essential reading for practitioners interested in social justice and equality.
Phil Whitehead, Assistant Professor of Educational Leadership and Management, University of Nottingham, UK
This interesting, informative and engaging book will be valuable to practitioners seeking solutions to help struggling learners reach academic and behavioural success. I truly believe it will strengthen the important and challenging work of educators, and should be read by everyone committed to excellence and high expectations for all students.
Scott Kizner, Superintendent, Stafford County Public Schools, USA
