Linton, who produces resources for educators and writes books on equity, and Davis, an author, professional development consultant, and former teacher and professional development program planner, argue that the culture of a school must include acceptance, support, relationships, and excellence for each student and teacher before it can improve, and detail how teachers, administrators, and others can build an equitable school culture for all students. They emphasize personal, institutional, and professional equity, focusing on the culture component of an equity framework that also involves practice and leadership, and these characteristics: expectations of high achievement, academic rigor, the relevancy of instruction and curriculum, and positive relationships in the school culture. Each chapter includes stories and examples of schools. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
