""In this immensely practical book, Dr. Kate Anderson Foley provides a blueprint for equity at the classroom, school, and district level. The appendices provide specific tools that can be used to conduct an equity audit and, more importantly, to take specific steps to address inequities. Anderson Foley makes the starling claim that when schools get equity right, it helps not only students with special needs, but all students in the system. Therefore, this book is not just for those with responsibility for special education, but for all teachers and leaders who have a commitment to equity. With compelling evidence and insights from her roles in state and district leadership, the author takes equity out of the realm of rhetoric into the domain of fact-based leadership and practice."" -- Douglas Reeves ""When you read Radical Excellence, you immediately see how to aim and plan for a quality educational system. Dr, Foley′s experience is powerful, and her expertise in special education is second to none. Too many educators and school leaders are caught up in the hamster wheel of a process designed to meet the needs of a process designed to meet the needs of a few students. Kate Anderson Foley has built a resource that truly leads to school improvement happen. A must read for all who claim to be passionate about education."" -- Barbara J. Smith, Ph.D
