Through nine compelling chapters, he presents actionable strategies, key takeaways, and reflection questions for education leaders. Additional features include vignettes showcasing real students and administrators, illustrating the successful implementation of key strategies; activities that encourage leaders to apply the chapter lessons to their specific contexts; and research-based data explicitly detailing the additional obstacles faced by low-income students. Visionary leaders hold a pivotal role in reshaping schools for students in high-poverty communities. By embracing the four pillars outlined in this book, education leaders can foster equitable and supportive learning environments that address the academic and social-emotional needs of their students so that all students can thrive.
