Ruthless Equity

Disrupt the Status Quo and Ensure Learning for All Students

De: Ken Williams

Narrado por: Ken Williams

Can you imagine:

• Working with super-charged confidence because you have clarity about how to ensure equity for every student?
• Leveraging equitable practices that will make student achievement both measurable and predictable?
• Never again wondering if you make a difference because you now understand you are the difference?

If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you need Ruthless Equity.

Ruthless Equity is a provocative, empowering coach and guide guaranteed to galvanize every educator who seeks to deliver equity, excellence, and achievement for all students, regardless of background.

With three decades in education, Ken Williams has led successful equity and school improvement efforts in multiple schools, and as an author, speaker, coach, and consultant in hundreds of schools.

Loved it!

Every word of this book is the truth! So many powerful declarative statements about teaching and learning. I will definitely be ordering a hard copy to highlight and annotate for next school year. Great book!!

Great Content

Loved this topic and that the author narrated it with such passion and authentic voice. Will be listening again.

Williams Takes the Politics out of Equity

I listened to your book on my morning walks this summer and LOVED it! YOU, my friend, took the politics out of EQUITY and put the POWER back into the hands of educators.
Well done 👏👏👏
I’m encouraging everyone in my circle of influence to read it! May all the change makers attending SCC, school board and city council meetings, and those influencing legislation, please read this book!

Piss and Vinegar is Right!

It really came to life having Ken read this to "me" himself, I accredit the difference in my slow and steady reading of the book to hearing his passion and beliefs behind the words. The best part of the book is that nothing is unsubstantiated in research or buzz-wordy, flavor of the week style. If there is a conscientious effort made to go against the complacent grain and do whatever the hell it takes for students to succeed, they will. Nothing is wild or difficult but it feels personal, and that's because it is so damn personal.

Charismatic narrator

I love the passion of the author. I agree with and recognize my long term agreements with the conclusions the author makes. But I also found frustrations. Not frustrations with conclusions (though I can imagine that accusation coming) but frustrations with the lack of “how’s”. There are a lot of “you need to…” but very little “here is how…”

The author simultaneously says (in sum) that we need to ditch the excuses while also recognizing that teachers not having the resources and schedule to meet the demands are failures of the administration. But, if those are what is preventing me from doing things and I advocate for the changes, what am I supposed to do?

So I recognize the good in the book but I am left frustrated nevertheless.

Amazing!

This just validated the work the work of Ruthless educators who ensure high levels of learning for all.

Great book!

This was fantastic book as an elementary teacher gave me a lot to think about and want to change
