This timely volume examines one of the nation's largest and most
promising urban school reform initiatives, Project GRAD (Graduation
Really Achieves Dreams). This extraordinary program, originally
designed for state-level application in Texas, has been
successfully adapted to many other locations across the United
States. Told through intimate narratives of students and educators,
this compelling story: Examines a replicable reform model that has
transformed dangerous, inner-city schools into functional learning
communities where student achievement rates have soared. Focuses on
the national expansion of Project GRAD, presenting a method of
reform that creates good schools by fitting its framework over
existing structures rather than abandoning failing schools.
Describes all of the obstacles and tensions that surface when the
worlds of business, philanthropy, and public education converge on
one project. Offers concrete solutions to the chronic problems of
urban schools struggling with poverty and the incessant demands of
state and federal mandates.
