I hope district and school leaders will consider this book as a handbook for educational equity success. It delves deep into what all leaders need to be thinking about, talking about and doing to make their schools the best they can be for all students.

Dr. Ken Darvall, Principal of Tema International School

This book is incredibly timely and relevant in a world where educators and educational leaders are crying out for change; for help and support to meet the complex learning needs of all our students to ensure every child can by a high achiever; for those who make decisions that affect schooling to make them with ‘every child’ in mind... We are living in world affected by crises after crises, systemic bias and racism, lack of faith in politicians and those in positions of power, and amidst all that, this book inspires educators to act with hope and deliberation, to enact change within the constraints that exist, to work with what we already have to improve outcomes for all of our students. This book provides practical, realistic and useful guidance for system and school leaders to enact change. You don’t come away thinking, “Those are great ideas, I just don’t know how to enact them”, as there are enough specific suggestions for exactly ‘what’ each leader can do, to the point of being an equity ‘road map’ for leaders.

Rachael Lehr, Associate Principal of West Beechboro Primary School

Equity is an extremely relevant and timely topic that is essential for all school leaders and all schools and communities. This book provides critically important research and very relevant examples for consideration. The suggestions in ‘your move’ throughout the book provide actions for positive and meaningful steps that school leaders can take to move forward

This book is a timely response to our need to discuss uncomfortable topics in an uncomfortable time. Solutions are presented as well as a well-articulated presentation of the problem. This is worth the read. It may change the trajectory of a child’s life.

Dr. Roseanne Lopez, Associate Superintendent of Amphitheater Public Schools

What school leaders are not taught well is how to initiate change that will lead to educational improvement for all students. Equity Warriors is a doing, leading book, and not a sit back in a sun-lounge reading book. I took away a treasure trove of internationally applicable ideas that I can use in my school today. So, if you want to make a real, moral difference to the lives of the kids that we teach you will find this road map so rewarding.

Dr. Neil MacNeill, PhD, EdD., Principal of Ellenbrook Primary School
