"These authors weave theory and practice around the issues of educational inequity and change, thus, creating a remarkable piece of thought-provoking and highly significant work. This book should be read by all who have a vested interest in effective educational leadership, educational change, diversity and equity in public, private, and charter schools."

"Finally, a book that has identity at the core of one's leadership. Santamaría and Santamaría have pulled together a collection of case studies that will inspire students, practitioners, and scholars to think critically about our own practices and ways in which we all face the challenges of educating in the 21st century."
