Using Equity Audits to Create Equitable and Excellent Schools

Edited by:

Foreword by Judith Richardson, Director of Diversity, Equity, and Urban Initiatives, NASSP



July 2009 | 152 pages | Corwin
Practical information for school leaders on how to close the achievement gap is in short supply. This book contains practical tools and strategies that make intuitive sense to educators and are easy to apply in reducing inequities in schools. The authors offer a manageable set of indicators to highlight inequities and that can be used in flexible ways for approaching the unique circumstances of any school. Full of charts, graphs, tools, and support materials, readers will move from an understanding of why equity audits are imperative to an understanding of how to do them and how to narrow the teacher quality, programmatic, and achievement gaps in their schools.
