Learners in today's classrooms face unique challenges that were unimagined even one generation ago.
Word & Deed Publishing is dedicated to providing resources for educators seeking to address challenges and inequities so that every learner can reach their full potential. We see schools as places where all children must receive equitable opportunities for success and where the status quo must be challenged.
Our focus on equity and social justice helps educators meet the needs of today's diverse school environments. Our resources can support all educators with making significant changes in the lives of students and their families.
Fighting the Good Fight is an essential text for aspiring African American school leaders, current school leaders as well as those in district-level positions who are charged with hiring school leaders. This text provides actual narratives that reinforce why studying the African American school leaders' experience is vital. There is nothing more powerful than a story and the stories presented within this text provide a road map that when used will certainly begin the work needed to motivate us to examine our current hiring and support practices. Additionally, this text presents an asset-influenced view of the contributions African American leaders have made and will make in the future. Each of us will find ideas to consider and strategies to employ through the lens of the contributors to this text.
