    Educators must achieve cultural proficiency to overcome unconscious biases and tap the limitless potential of their school communities.In The Consciously Unbiased Educator, cultural proficiency expert and former teacher Huda Essa helps educators uncover and surmount the limitations of unconscious biases--stereotypes that form below the surface of our awareness, making them harder to detect. Although these biases aren't formed with the intent to do harm, if they are not interrupted, they contribute to negative outcomes for students.With warmth and wisdom, Essa urges educators to move past any reflexive defensiveness or shame that comes with facing these biases to take a journey that will ultimately empower and benefit the entire school community. Filled with rich, clarifying insights drawn from Essa's own experience as well as comprehensive research findings, this inspirational resource pushes readers' thinking to new levels.To aid in examining these biases, this thought-provoking yet highly approachable book offers - Practical ideas, strategies, and tools, such as a personal index enabling readers to gather and organize learning in the most resonant, meaningful way possible.- Thoughtful discussion of essential concepts and terms, including the cultural proficiency continuum, privilege, culturally responsive practices, exclusionary behaviors, and more.- Numerous exercises that encourage readers to activate their critical consciousness and use the author's 3Rs (review, reflect, resolve) method to respond to real-life scenarios.- Deep reflection prompts to foster mindful contemplation and gain confidence for engaging in productive discourse about sensitive topics.Editable PDF versions of the prompts and resources within the book are also available to enhance and extend opportunities for reflection and learning. Readers will build the knowledge and skills they need to ""become their own manual"" and apply their learning off the page.Educators can change the status quo. If we want our students to remember us as educators who touch hearts, open minds, and awaken souls, we must boldly address the topic of bias.

    In this transformative narrative, Carlos R. Moreno explores what it means to develop Leadership Soul by approaching educational leadership with love, care, and vulnerability.In Finding Your Leadership Soul, Carlos Moreno shares his journey from a challenging childhood in the Bronx, to teaching and advising at an innovative high school, to serving as co-executive director for Big Picture Learning, an organization that works to advance equitable, student-centered education. Along the way, he introduces several young Black and Latino men he had the privilege to work with--students who came from backgrounds similar to his and who helped shape his philosophy of leadership. He mines lessons learned from his connections with these young men and distills those lessons into practical application. His aim is to inspire others to join him on the effortful but indescribably vital quest to develop Leadership Soul.Leadership Soul draws on three principles--lead with love, lead with care, and lead with vulnerability--to counter conventional leadership archetypes that promote inequity and fail to meet the needs of all students, especially those marginalized by systemic prejudice and socioeconomic circumstances. The book is a powerful and poignant guide to engaging in inclusive, equitable leadership--to developing your own Leadership Soul.

    Today's teachers are responsible for a greater variety of learners with a greater diversity of needs than ever before. When you add in the ever-changing dynamics of technology and current events, the complexity of both students' and teachers' lives grows exponentially. Far too few teachers, however, successfully teach the whole class with the individual student in mind. In Leading and Managing a Differentiated Classroom, Carol Ann Tomlinson and Marcia B. Imbeau tackle the issue of how to address student differences thoughtfully and proactively. The first half of the book focuses on what it means for a teacher to effectively lead a differentiated classroom. Readers will learn how to be more confident and effective leaders for and in student-focused and responsive classrooms. The second half of the book focuses on the mechanics of managing a differentiated classroom. A teacher who has the best intentions, a dynamic curriculum, and plans for differentiation cannot-and will not-move forward unless he or she is at ease with translating those ideas into classroom practice. In other words, teachers who are uncomfortable with flexible classroom management will not differentiate instruction, even if they understand it, accept the need for it, and can plan for it. Tomlinson and Imbeau argue that the inherent interdependence of leading and managing a differentiated classroom is at the very heart of 21st-century education. This essential guide to differentiation also includes a helpful teacher's toolkit of activities and teaching strategies that will help any teacher expand his or her capacity to make room for and work tirelessly on behalf of every student.

    The Instructional Coaching Handbook is not a new model of coaching. It addresses common hiccups that prevent productive coaching conversations from happening in the first place. From their thousands of annual school visits, the authors recognize that coaches frequently confront similar challenges when helping educators address seven skills and dispositions - and they devote a chapter to each: Efficacy, Equity, Academic instruction, Social-emotional instruction, Openness to feedback, Lesson planning, Team membership. Each chapter features scores of practical, research-based strategies with a history of success. Mix and match them according to your leadership style, the needs of the student or teacher, and the demands of the curriculum. In addition to implementation stories that show what the strategies look like in a range of classroom settings, this handbook includes effective tools and resources that help guide you through the thorniest of coaching conversations. All you have to do is dive into an appropriate chapter; scan for ideas that match your style, the educators you coach, and your unique context; and start making a difference!
