Leading Through an Equity Lens
A Process for Advancing Inclusive District Initiatives
“The proven process in this book,” says author Kim Wallace, “helps leaders keep their equity lens wide open and zeroed in on serving groups of students that have been denied access to a quality K–12 education by responsibly and responsively infusing new initiatives into their organizations.”
