At a time when America's schools face many of the most difficult challenges ever, the authors of Equity Issues for Today's Educational Leaders return the reader to an agenda for addressing equity in schools, emphasizing the need to reexamine past reform efforts and the work ahead for educational leaders in reshaping schools and schooling—in concert, attending to the social responsibility of furthering the ideals of a democratic society.
The underlying purpose of the Equity Issues for Today's Educational Leaders is to illuminate and critique, as well as draw to the foreground, both historical and contemporary factors that have contributed to issues of equity in schools. Importantly, the contributors provide a survey of the issues as well as content and pedagogical tools for students and practitioners of leadership to study and understand their work in dealing with equity issues against a backdrop of a changing America and the demands placed on contemporary schools.

Patrick M. Jenlink is professor of doctoral studies in the Department of Secondary Education and Educational Leadership and director of the Educational Research Center at Stephen F. Austin State University.
