Developing Conscious Gratitude in Schools addresses deep inequalities in the American education system, offering a holistic approach to reimagining schools as transformative spaces that support students, particularly those from low-income and marginalized backgrounds. Jerell Hill explores how systemic challenges impact educational opportunities and provides a strategic blueprint for creating inclusive, empowering learning environments.


Chapters explore interconnected social policies, highlighting how factors like neighborhood conditions, public health, housing, and segregation profoundly affect school performance. By presenting research, case studies, and practical strategies, the blueprint presented is a new approach to education policy that addresses systemic inequality comprehensively.


This book is not merely an academic exercise, but a powerful catalyst for transformative change in education. Unlike theoretical works that merely describe problems, Developing Conscious Gratitude in Schools provides concrete, research backed strategies grounded in real world experiences that educators and administrators can immediately implement. By directly addressing the critical issues of systemic inequality in education, Hill moves beyond diagnosis to prescription, offering a transformative approach to educational design and practice.

Jerell Hill serves as Dean of Student Services at Los Angeles City College, where he brings over 25 years of educational experience to his leadership role. A passionate advocate for educational justice and equity, Dr. Hill combines scholarly expertise with extensive practical experience to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in education. His academic research centers on teacher preparation, research-practice partnerships, and academic achievement, with additional focus areas including Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), student motivation, educational administration, special education, and urban education. Most recently, Dr. Hill's leadership as Co-Interim Vice President of Academic Affairs helped secure an unprecedented 10 year accreditation for the institution.
