“Anthony Muhammad has hereby entered the ongoing debate in America about the compatibility of equity, excellence, and meritocracy in the nation's quest to eradicate achievement gaps. Whatever your perspective on the issues, this book will help you understand the glaring need for a national change of mindset. It's a worthwhile read!”

Ronald F. Ferguson, faculty director, Achievement Gap Initiative at Harvard University

“Overcoming the Achievement Gap Trap is a revolutionary must-read that challenges educators at all levels to not only view inequity in schools through a critical lens but take actions, boldly declaring that education as usual is no longer acceptable for any student.”

Tonya C. Adair, principal instructional leader, Washington High School of Information Technology, Milwaukee Public Schools

“For most, closing the achievement gap is simplistically addressed by the singular mindset of increasing standardized test scores. Through this provocative text, Anthony Muhammad teaches us that to truly close the achievement gap requires liberation with complexity.”

Sharroky Hollie, executive director, Center for Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning
