Education Leadership Review, v21 n1 p142-162 Dec 2020
To enhance society through equitable educational attainment, efforts are being made in school districts to investigate practices and student data to provide more equitable opportunities for the students and families they serve. Given the importance of school leaders and their impact on student achievement and school climate (Bass & Riggio, 2006; Leithwood et al., 2004), it is imperative to understand how school leaders develop and sustain mindsets and behaviors toward equity. This study highlights the Superintendent's efforts around equity using focus groups and individual interviews with school administrators.
