Filled with processes that balance evidence-based values with democratic, culturally responsive values, this book offers strategies to mediate the tensions and to address school culture, context and values, leadership capacity, using data as a source of reflection, curricular and pedagogical activity, and strengths-based approaches to meeting the needs of culturally diverse students.

* - Descriptions of processes from other contexts (South Carolina, Germany, Australia, Sweden)
* - Thoughts about next steps for contextually sensitive and multi-level school development* - Suggestions for cross-national dialogue and research within the Zone of Uncertainty
