Book Description
"Today many of our public schools remain largely segregated by race, class, and language. School districts continue to struggle with the complexities of diversity and equity within public education. Across the country, districts participate in voluntary and involuntary programs designed to decrease school segregation. This project examines an integration school district's efforts to achieve the goals outlined in its Collaborative Integration and Equity Plan by reviewing the responses and findings of a needs assessment that was conducted throughout the collaborative integration school district. The findings of the needs assessment identified several areas of improvement and opportunities to provide leadership for school improvement. This project concludes that the establishment of inclusive professional learning communities may assist school leadership in initiating culturally relevant and equitable activities and programs that lead to attainment of its integration goals and improved student performance."--leaf 2.
