The good news is that there are strong pockets of pent-up desire and frustration to develop new learning that engages students in the demands of the 21st century. Among other problems, inequity has worsened over the past 20 years despite substantial increased budgets and rhetoric to the contrary. \u003c\/em\u003eBreakthrough Leadership \u003cem\u003emakes a significant contribution to our next phase, which must be one of definable and targeted transformation of equity-based kerning. This book meets the challenge in two significant ways. First, it advocates a bold and specific vision. while at the same time is detailed in the specific strategies and actions that need to be taken in the face of COVID-19 related fallout. Second, aside from its revolutionary timeliness, the virtue of\u003c\/em\u003e Breakthroug\u003cem\u003eh is that is stems from grass roots practice and practitioners. Any solution to our present problems must be relentlessly bottom up. This collection represents a strong contribution to the growing post-COVID movement that is vital for the immediate future of public education.\"\u003c\/em\u003e -- Michael Fullan, Professor Emeritus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword by Pedro A.
