Still Committed: How Educators and Teams Cultivate Just Schools in Unjust Times, (Paperback)

<p><strong>Practical, research-backed guidance for K-12 educators who are still committed to racial justice and equity work in schools.</strong></p><p>In unjust times, it's tempting to shrink your vision to fit the moment, but that would mean giving students less than they deserve. A commitment to racially just schools is about persistence in principle and creativity in practice. In <em>Still Committed</em>, Terrance L. Green offers guidance for educators working together to advance equity in schools, whether they are part of formally recognized equity teams, groups with a different name, or informal gatherings around a table.</p><p>The approach Green lays out goes beyond shallow professional development and actionless conversations. He explains how to use his 5D Framework for Equity Action--short for discern, dream, design, do, diagnose--to figure out where your school is now, imagine something better, and make it a reality. School and district leaders and teacher teams will learn how to do the following: </p><p></p><ul><li>Uncover root causes and move beyond surface fixes. </li><li>Keep equity language both courageous and actionable in politically charged times.</li><li>Identify toxic elements and turn setbacks into opportunities. </li><li>Envision and design equity efforts. </li><li>Maintain accountability during implementation.</li></ul><p></p><p>You'll also get a collection of practical tools that you can adapt to your setting and reflective questions for both individuals and teams to help you apply what you are learning to everyday practice.</p><p>When educators work together, even in small groups, they can withstand opposition, generate innovative solutions, and push schools and districts to transform in ways that no single person could achieve. <em>Still Committed</em> offers the way forward for those who refuse to give up the fight for what's right.</p>
