Description
Book SynopsisSchools should be expected to respond to inequities with research-based practices. This book features case studies that demonstrate key criteria that schools can emulate, such as an inclusive school climate, support for language-minority students, performance-based assessment, a commitment to detracking, and supports for students in need.
