This book details how one school integrated equity pedagogy into standards-based curriculum and produced exemplary levels of achievement. As the authors illustrate, however, the school’s dual commitment to bilingual education and standards-based reform engendered numerous complex tensions. Specifically, the authors describe teachers’ attempts to balance demands for rigor and content coverage within their high-performing school and with their diverse student population. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey identify specific tensions that emerged, concerning: \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The degree of academic struggle that is generative for student learning, and the point at which such struggle becomes counterproductive. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe holding of high expectations for all learners and the provision of differentiated, student-centered learning experiences. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe CCSS emphasis on engaging students around more complex text and the contested determination of what constitutes complexity in text and in teaching. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe influence of high-stakes accountability on school norms and practices, including teachers’ interpretations and enactment of new national standards. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe performance pressures placed on teachers in today’s educational policy context.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis timely book illustrates what can happen when a school’s teachers embrace equity pedagogy while navigating policy-related pressures.
