Ishimaru co-authors new article on leading equity teams
Professor Ann Ishimaru is co-author of “Leading Equity Teams: The Role of Formal Leaders in Building Organizational Capacity for Equity,” recently published in the Journal of Education for Students Placed at Risk.

Using a case study methodology, the authors explore how a black female K-8 school leader steeped in social justice leadership work and a white female middle school leader new to social justice leadership engaged collectively with a team of educators to build organizational capacity to identify racial, ability and other group-based student disparities and develop equitable practices at their respective school sites.
