Learners in today's classrooms face unique challenges that were unimagined even one generation ago.
Word & Deed Publishing is dedicated to providing resources for educators seeking to address challenges and inequities so that every learner can reach their full potential. We see schools as places where all children must receive equitable opportunities for success and where the status quo must be challenged.
Our focus on equity and social justice helps educators meet the needs of today's diverse school environments. Our resources can support all educators with making significant changes in the lives of students and their families.
Expanding the notion of the practitioner-scholar, this book places practitioners at the centre of theorising their own experiences and making sense of it. As a Black woman, former school administrator and educational leadership researcher and scholar, this book resonates with me. This volume and these powerful narratives of lived experiences of African Americans disrupts the dominance of Eurocentricity in educational leadership theorizing and practice and should be a must-read in principal qualification courses and educational leadership courses. Indeed, as Carrier and Griffen suggest, we must "appreciate the gift it can be to have an African American principal in any school."
