Summary

While the movement for standards and accountability has largely succeeded in bringing greater attention to disparities in student achievement, surprisingly little attention has been given to what it takes to create conditions in schools that will make achievement for all students more likely. Missing from much of the policy debate related to achievement is how to place equity at the center of education reform, and how that, in turn, supports the most effective teaching in schools.

Join Alan M. Blankstein and Pedro Noguera, coauthors of Excellence Through Equity: Five Principles of Courageous Leadership to Guide Achievement for Every Student, in an engaging webinar that will describe principles and practices that have proven effective in meeting the needs of a wide variety of learners, and how they can avoid the zero-sum scenario which leads some to believe that we have to choose between the pursuit of excellence and equity. You will learn

• Why the path to excellence is through equity and what we can do to make it happen;
• How leaders build high-performing school cultures; and
• How schools can develop effective partnerships with parents and community groups to further raise achievement for ALL students.
