Equity Warriors
Creating Schools That Students Deserve

Foreword by Larry Leverett, A Joint Publication with Learning Forward



February 2022 | 360 pages | Corwin

Advance equity by learning to crack the system’s codes

We must act now, using what we already know, to advance equity and raise the achievement of every student. With three decades of leading equity work across the country, George S. Perry Jr. issues a call to action for educational leaders who are willing to fight the fight for equity for all students.

School and district leaders will encounter roadblocks as they enact systemic change, but Equity Warriors introduces practical, realistic, and strategic approaches for navigating those barriers. Equity Warriors equips education leaders with the moves they can make today to achieve the vision that every student becomes a high achiever by

  • Providing real school and district examples of systemic equity efforts
  • Demonstrating the parallel work that school and district teams must do to achieve and sustain systemic change
  • Cracking the codes in the domains of politics, diplomacy, and warfare to achieve the equity agenda.

Equity Warriors is a must read for leaders at all levels of the system who have chosen to be in this fight and are ready to do what it takes to make the system work for all students.
