This book argues that care, as typically described and enacted, is not sufficient for leading schools, particularly those serving Black and Latinx children. Instead, school leaders need to embrace \u003cem\u003eradical care.\u003c\/em\u003e Drawing from 20 years of researching and working in New York City public schools, Rosa Rivera-McCutchen outlines the five components of radical care: adopting an antiracist stance, cultivating authentic relationships, believing in students' and teachers' capacity for excellence, leveraging power strategically, and embracing a spirit of radical hope. To demonstrate practical strategies, the author shares vignettes from her personal experiences that exemplify each of the components. \u003cem\u003e\u003c\/em\u003eCalling for today's school leaders to thoughtfully challenge existing structures that reproduce inequality, \u003cem\u003eRadical Care\u003c\/em\u003e offers a much-needed framework that will guide leadership practice with a sense of urgency and a spirit of hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBook Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFocuses on the school principal as critical catalyst for school transformation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCenters antiracism as essential to leadership practice.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIncludes practical strategies for navigating the sociopolitical and policy climate.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOffers a roadmap for engaging teachers and staff in practicing radical care.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosa L.
