From the publisher

Address the challenges of high-poverty communities with visionary school leadership.

In this essential guide for education leaders who aspire to effect meaningful change in the lives of students from high-poverty communities, Washington B. Collado presents four pillars to support education leaders in (1) creating a shared vision and mission, (2) engaging families and communities, (3) maintaining a focus on equity, and (4) developing systems to support students' academic and social-emotional development. Together, these four essential elements provide a coherent and systematic approach to educational excellence for all students, particularly those from low-income families.

Refusing to shy away from the challenges within high-poverty schools, Collado combines decades of leadership experience with the latest research on effective interventions for students. Through nine compelling chapters, he presents actionable strategies, key takeaways, and reflection questions for education leaders. Additional features include

  • vignettes showcasing real students and administrators, illustrating the successful implementation of key strategies;
  • activities that encourage leaders to apply the chapter lessons to their specific contexts; and
  • research-based data explicitly detailing the additional obstacles faced by low-income students.

Visionary leaders hold a pivotal role in reshaping schools for students in high-poverty communities. By embracing the four pillars outlined in this book, education leaders can foster equitable and supportive learning environments that address the academic and social-emotional needs of their students so that all students can thrive.

About the author

Washington "Nino" Collado, PhD, was born in the Dominican Republic in 1962 in a small town called Jnico and was raised surrounded by educators. His mother, Mara Tejada, and seven of his uncles and aunts were teachers. After the death of his mother in 1970, Dr. Collado and his three sisters traveled to the United States to live with their father in 1975. In New York, he started his studies in New York City Public Schools in the seventh grade and went on to Franklin K. Lane High School in Brooklyn, New York.

In 1986 he taught Spanish and English as a second language in New York City Public Schools. In 1992, he and his family moved to South Florida. While working in Broward County Public Schools' Multicultural Department, he developed curriculum and conducted trainings for teachers and administrators on multicultural education and community engagement.

He became an assistant principal at Broward County Public Schools and was promoted to principal in 2005. Collectively, he has served fifteen years as principal at Lyons Creek Middle School, Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, and, presently, James S. Rickards Middle School. He also served as president of the Broward Principals' and Assistants' Association (BPAA).

Throughout his career, Dr. Collado has devoted much of his time to teaching and orienting school leaders and educators. He has travelled to various countries and over twenty states in the U.S. as a motivational speaker on matters of school leadership and family engagement. He has also served as a panelist at CNN en Espaol, Telemundo, Univision, and others. He has written over one hundred articles for newspapers and magazines in New York and Florida, including the Miami Herald, and has published the following three books: Parents, Don't Forget Your Homework; Padres, No Olviden su Tarea; and Liderazgo y Escuelas Efectivas.
