Here’s Why Every Principal Should Read This ASCD Book by Principal Kafele:
The title alone deserves an answer. We believe everyone in an educational leadership position should answer this question and take time to reflect on whether or not they are making a positive impact. It speaks to our latest blog on service- and servant-leadership.
Similar to other Principal Kafele books, he starts with the power of questions. If you read this book through the lens of self-development, not only will you understand yourself better, you’ll also continue on the great and challenging journey of leadership growth.
Principal Kafele is comfortable with the uncomfortable. As humans, we don’t always like to confront the brutal reality, but growth occurs in the space where we willingly uncover our areas of weakness. A must read.

This book includes real stories about young Black and Latino males, which provides a perspective for a predominantly white workforce in education. We need to know more about our students, and they need to know more about us.
Robert’s book begins with the five factors that impact male Black and Latino students, and educators need to be incredibly aware of them:
Invisibilization
Marginalization
Pre-criminalization
Stereotype threat
Colorism
He challenges educators with a how-to chapter on culturally aware teaching practices. We should be doing a book study on this book in every school.
Robert writes from the heart. By weaving in his own experiences, the book emerges as a powerful testimony to the work that can be done.
