Contents:

1. Black and Brown People's Influential Presence -- 2. Curated White Racial Discomfort -- 3. Courageously Confrontational School Culture -- 4. Collective Awareness of Racial Emotions and Beliefs -- 5. Race-Conscious Inquiry Cycles (Leadership) -- 6. Stuck Improving -- Knowing That Racism (White Supremacy) Is at Work.

Summary: An incisive case study of changemaking in action, Stuck Improving analyzes the complex process of racial equity reform within K-12 schools. Scholar Decoteau J. Irby emphasizes that racial equity is dynamic, shifting both as our emerging racial consciousness evolves and as racism asserts itself anew. Those who accept the challenge of reform find themselves "stuck improving," caught in a perpetual dilemma of both making progress and finding ever more progress to be made. Rather than dismissing stuckness as failure, Irby embraces it as an inextricable part of the improvement process. Stuck Improving offers a clear-eyed accounting of school-improvement practices, including data-driven instructional approaches, teacher cultural competency, and inquiry-based leadership strategies. This timely work contributes both to the practical efforts of equity-minded school leaders and to a deeper understanding of what the work of racial equity improvement truly entails.
