Inclusive education & mainstreaming; Teaching skills & techniques

"A guide to disrupting harmful mindsets and practices in our schools so that students can thrive where they are.

In many schools and districts, students of color living in low-income communities are told in simple and covert ways every day that they must leave their communities if they want to be successful. The message may be well-intentioned, but the leave to succeed (L2S) mindset is a dangerous narrative that affects students' sense of self. Students start to wonder: Are low-income or marginalized communities inherently ""bad""? What happens to the people who don't ""make it out""? Who is worthy of success?

Instead, Nancy GutiErrez and Roberto Padilla turn the L2S mindset on its head to interrogate how school and district leaders can nurture and support students to find success in their own communities. They share real-world vignettes, reflection questions, and clear and simple tips to build an asset-based, uplifting approach that honors the backgrounds, cultures, and strengths of Black and Brown communities. You will learn how to
* Recognize how the L2S mindset is pervasive in many schools.

Encourage students to develop their unique stories of self that highlight their cultural backgrounds.

Build schools that are innovative, offer a community-rich curriculum, and are held accountable to provide deep learning to all students.

Rewrite the dominant narrative in your school system to become a disruptive yet positive force in education.

Embrace the moral responsibility to be an equitable, fair, and compassionate leader to all students, no matter their socioeconomic backgrounds.

No one is truly served by deficit-based narratives, and for every student to feel valued and affirmed, schools and districts must embrace the idea that any student in any school can stay in their community and prevail."
