Improving Educational Outcomes of Vulnerable Children seeks to examine the plight of vulnerable students in America's educational system.

Each chapter focuses on an artist or group whose work serves to refine, extend, and challenge our thinking in regards to educational leadership. You will find a vast array of musical forms of expression analyzed and described by an equally diverse collection of educational leadership scholars and practitioners. There may be some who question the academic appropriateness or relevance of a text such as this one. Our response is that part of our ongoing mission should be to break ourselves out of academic silos and forge meaningful connections between seemingly disparate disciplines. Furthermore, educational leadership stands to gain more by drawing from the arts and specifically musical influences.

In sum, we ask that as you read the chapters of this book, you reflect on your own musical tastes and favorite artists.
