This influential book describes the knowledge and skills teachers, school administrators, and other educators need to combat the bias and inequity that deny students experiencing poverty the levels of educational access and opportunity their wealthier peers often enjoy.
Written in an engaging, conversational style that makes complex concepts accessible and actionable, this book will help readers learn how to identify and eliminate even the subtlest inequities in their classrooms, schools, and districts. The third edition features extensive revisions based on the most recent research and lessons learned from the author's professional development work. Enhancements include an extended summary of Gorski's equity literacy framework; several new narrative case scenarios; a new section detailing how schools unintentionally "punish poverty"; a revised Poverty Awareness Quiz; and updated strategies throughout to assist today's K-12 teachers, school administrators, counselors, and social workers.
