Leveraging Resources for Student Success: How School Leaders Build Equity

Mary Ann Burke,Reynaldo Baca,Lawrence O. Picus,Cathy E. Jones

Here is a book that challenges educators to put aside outmoded images of what is unlikely to push education far or fast enough to make a difference. Underlying each chapter is the belief and the ‘how to’ that allows for the development of a community culture that matches the changing condition of a changing society and student success’ -Lee Mahon, Professor/Mentor, Doctoral Studies, The Fielding Institute, Santa Barbara, CA. Written in a user-friendly format, Leveraging Resources for Student Success highlights effective leadership strategies for decision-makers and educators at all levels. It offers visionary, yet realistic techniques for building a school culture, as well as policies and procedures that cater to and empower diverse students - resulting in enhanced student, teacher, and schoolwide performance. Special features of this definitive book include: invaluable work sheets and sample plans for easy self-evaluation and implementation; specific ‘Survival Strategies’ that have been successfully utilized in urban schools; tips for cultivating and maximizing community relationships to obtain resources; straightforward assessment methods to authentically measure change; and, real-life examples of principal and teacher practices that have worked.
