School leaders who succeed at creating a high-achieving learning community must also be committed to creating an equitable environment for all students. In this new book, key scholars across the content areas show how to put into practice a commitment to equity and excellence across the Pre-K12 spectrum. Readers learn directly from experts in each of the content domains (literacy, mathematics, science, social studies, music, early childhood, special education, English language learners, world languages, and physical education) how a commitment to social justice and equity can be grounded in core subject areas, why each has a place in the school, and what they need to know and do in each subject area. This book is a critical instructional leadership resource for new and veteran principals who want to see all students succeed. Contributors: Antonio J.

Aimed at both practicing administrators and university education professors, this book discriminates among certain "E-words" ("effective,""efficient,""excellent," and "empowerment") in the educational reform lexicon. According to the introductory chapter, levels of effectiveness, efficiency, and excellence operate as interrelated factors within the school's social system. The truly effective elementary principal factors both efficiency and effectiveness into identifying, prioritizing, and measuring a school's accomplishments. The second chapter presents a tri-dimensional view of effective school site decision-making dependent on the school's instructional, political, and economic microsystems. The principal's job is to balance the legitimate demands of these microsystems. Chapter 3 summarizes research on effective schools, principals, and school districts. Chapter 4 examines perspectives on the principal's instructional leadership role and advances a holistic approach to instructional leadership. Chapter 5 outlines a three-step process for improving administrative effectiveness: (1) identifying educational outcomes; (2) identifying ways to measure outcomes; and (3) monitoring processes used to accomplish the identified outcomes. Chapter 6 discusses empowerment for effectiveness, and the final chapter provides mnemonic devices for pursuing effectiveness. Each chapter contains numerous references. (MLH)
