Learning how leaders advance equity and justice can inspire, give mental models, and help create road maps. Eight years ago, Nancy Gerzon and the author researched professional learning in high-poverty schools that were narrowing the achievement gap for every demographic, which resulted in the book "Growing Into Equity" (Corwin, 2013). One of the few U.S. high schools that fit the criteria was Social Justice Humanitas Academy in the Los Angeles Unified School District. José Luis Navarro was the school's leader and a former California Teacher of the Year. He went on to serve as a local district support coordinator and has returned to school leadership at Birmingham Community Charter High School, where he is lead administrative director. This article presents an interview with Navarro about his journey as an equity leader and how he brings the perspectives of teacher, school leader, and central office leader to bear on his work.
