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 a necessary, timely, and timeless book—timely, because it comes at a time when issues of equity, inclusion, and social justice are major discussion points as we seek to create schooling and educational environments that are responsive and relevant to the needs, interests, and ambitions of students; and timeless, because it points to the fact that taking up these issues and bringing about the learning and teaching environment we seek, is a constant process. Well-positioned to educate us on the process are school administrators whose knowledge and expertise, rooted in their experiences, inform their work. In this regard, the provocative and insightful essays of African American administrators in this book, not only tell us about their lives, commitments, philosophies, paths, ambitions, and leadership, but is also an important contribution to our knowledge about what it takes to be a leader in an inequity education system.
