Dissecting twenty years of educational politics in our nation's
largest cities, American School Reform offers one of the clearest
assessments of school reform as it has played out in our recent
history. Joseph P. McDonald and his colleagues evaluate the
half-billion-dollar Annenberg Challenge - launched in 1994 -
alongside many other large-scale reform efforts that have taken
place in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, and the San Francisco Bay
Area. They look deeply at what school reform really is, how it
works, how it fails, and what differences it can make nonetheless.
McDonald and his colleagues lay out several interrelated ideas in
what they call a theory of action space. Frequently education
policy gets so ambitious that implementing it becomes a near
impossibility. Action space, however, is what takes shape when
talented educators, leaders, and reformers guide the social capital
of civic leaders and the financial capital of governments,
foundations, corporations, and other backers toward true results.
