Toward the Bigger Half: Equity in Public Education explores what makes equity and schooling uncomfortable but necessary companions. Dr. Beth Godett theorizes about the goal of equity in public education and provides a vital window into history and the law. The term "equity" is demystified by introducing historical figures as if they were alive today.

Her book will make you angry, curious, and also hopeful. Challenging her readers to embrace opportunities, Dr. Godett details pragmatic ways that teachers (like herself) can make a difference in K-12 education.

Enjoy it in one sitting or break it into small bites; either way you will be eager to share new ideas with colleagues.
