Equity-Focused
iven the imperative decisions school districts are making due to the challenges and opportunities in today’s public education landscape, AASA, The School Superintendents Association, in partnership with an array of stakeholder organizations, has created a coalition to develop recommendations on transforming education to be more student-centered, equity focused and forward reaching.

There is an old saying here that I keep coming back to. If you don’t know the location of your harbor, no wind will take you there. Too often, we have made reactionary changes, placing the cart before the horse in a race that is much too important to lose. With the advent of this coalition, we’ll have the opportunity to get back on track and help our children advance — in equity, and in charge. The association’s picks to lead the effort, AASA Executive Director Dr. Dan Domenech (my own superintendent 35 years ago!) and my dear friend Dr. Bill Daggett, are exactly who we need to ask just the right probing questions.


Enjoy this issue of the magazine. All the stories included here exemplify the very spirit of education. You’ll read example after example of educator-heroes like you who have overcome enormous challenges to help their schools become more student-centered, equity focused and forward reaching. And isn’t that what it’s all about?
