Written by three Latina superintendents who have achieved great success as leaders of culturally and linguistically-diverse districts, the book provides a unique vision for transforming schools into places of equity and excellence. The authors use the lens of Cultural Proficiency to facilitate an understanding of both the barriers to educational opportunity as well the conditions that help to promote the success of underserved groups. Their lessons for being successful in diverse communities are a source of inspiration to all educators who aspire to extend the promises of democracy to every public school student"-- Provided by publisher.School management and organizationSocial aspectsUnited StatesMulticultural educationUnited StatesEducational equalizationUnited StatesSchool improvement programsUnited StatesSchool management and organizationSocial aspectsMulticultural educationEducational equalizationSchool improvement programs371.207EDU001000bisacshFranco Carmella S.1723386Ott Maria G.Robles Darline P.Lindsey Randall B.Graham Stephanie M.de Santa Ana Thelma MeléndezMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814274903321A culturally proficient society begins in school4124586UNINA
