Abstract	Why are equity visits such a critical first step to increasing opportunity and access for our under-served students? Because they take instructional rounds to a new level, providing a powerful lens for investigating the intersections of equity and instruction. After all, how can we possibly deliver equitable learning experiences. That is where "Equity Visits" will prove absolutely indispensable to district and school administrators. It details how to combine a strong focus on instruction with explicit, intentional efforts to address systemic inequities. Inside you will find: (1) A range of data collection activities and tools to target central issues of equity in your school; (2) Clear guidelines on how to investigate the ways instructional practices, structures, and beliefs lead to inequitable educational experiences--and how these are often masked in the day-to-day life of schools and districts; (3) A frank discussion of how to make race and racism an explicit part of investigating and addressing educational inequities; (4) Voices of school and district leaders who have taken crucial first steps to become "equity warriors"; and (5) Recommendations on how to develop policies, initiatives, and practices to confront those inequities. Few dispute that instructional improvement must be a central focus of educational leadership, but for too long achieving educational equity has been absent from the conversation. Here is your opportunity to ensure equity occupy a central spot in data collection and analysis, and be explicitly discussed at all levels of your school or district organization. In short, essential reading and doing for all administrators! [Foreword by Edward Fergus.] (As Provided).
