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.”
Overcome barriers to educational equity and refine systems into high-quality learning environments

Author Kim Wallace offers leaders a practical course of action to amplify opportunities and diminish systemic barriers for historically marginalized students.
