Leading for Equity tells the compelling story of the Montgomery County (Maryland) Public Schools and its transformation—in less than a decade—into a system committed to breaking the links between race and class and academic achievement.
In chapters organized around six core themes, the authors lay out the essential elements of MCPS’s success. They identify key lessons other districts can draw from MCPS’s experience and offer a framework for applying them. A dramatic departure from “business as usual,” MCPS has won nationwide attention as a compelling model for tackling the achievement and opportunity issues that confront our nation as a whole.

About the Author:
Stacey M. Childress, Denis P. Doyle, and David A. Thomas, with a foreword by David Gergen
Review:
How do we move from islands of excellence which exist today in virtually every school district to systems of excellence which unfortunately today are much harder to find? Many of the answers lie in the Montgomery County story. We can hope to serve every child only by committing to whole-district transformation and Montgomery County is one of the examples that shows us the way. --Arne Duncan, former CEO, Chicago Public Schools
Leading for Equity shows what it is going to take to begin to close the achievement gap: courageous, collaborative, wise, and creative leadership. Useful to scholars and practitioners alike, this book is a valuable addition to the literature of change. --James P. Comer, Maurice Falk Professor of Child Psychiatry, Yale University Child Study Center
Every person working to improve America s schools should consider the real-world lessons in this book. --Randi Weingarten, president, American Federation of Teachers, AFL-CIO
