Summary:
"Many education systems are tainted and remain tinged by a history of racism and discrimination. America's education system is one of those. Traditional education approaches lead to learning environments that exclude a substantial portion of the student population. Author Zachary Wright, with his book Dismantling a Broken System: Actions to Bridge the Opportunity, Equity, and Justice Gap in American Education, exposes this system, shows its through line in history, and seeks to dismantle the rigged system with inclusion and equity in its place. With ideas for hyperlocal activism, a breakdown of educational funding and how to make it more equitable, and an examination of culturally responsive instruction, Dismantling a Broken System can help readers deconstruct the system that perpetuates so much inequity and trauma"-- Provided by publisher.
