Recenzii

This powerfully insightful and thought provoking book, takes us on a journey to culturally proficient actions.
The authors challenge districts to examine practices that create inequity.

Endeavors toward culturally proficient values are critical in a time where we struggle to answer ‘Why can’t we close the educational gap?
This book provides inspiration for those institutions that are examining and asking the difficult question of, “Where do we even begin?”
“The authors’ have provided the most comprehensive blueprint for starting or revamping an institution’s program for cultural proficiency by allowing one to start with self-understanding before addressing others. Emphasizing that changes happen when leaders use cultural proficiency to do their work!”
If your school or district is ready to move from “talking the talk” to “walking the walk” this text will assist you in your journey.
School Leaders will be inspired and understand the urgency of putting a plan into action.
It is exuberating to see how Ventura Unified School District brought theory into practice that directly influenced the individual and organizational core values to benefit their students! 
Her book will be at the top of my list as a must read recommendation for all my colleagues at the District Office.
The book is full of compassion, conviction and hope—pure heart, pure corazón—in the quest to tackle inequality and the opportunity gap head on.
Every level of the organization, led by the superintendent and the school board, engage in courageous examination of data and reflection to create continuous improvement, close opportunity gaps, and lead the district to improved outcomes for students.
