Big cities have mostly failed in their efforts to reform public
schools. This book shows why - and offers a framework for achieving
future success. Fullan and Boyle, internationally renowned thinkers
on school change, demonstrate that while the educational challenges
of big cities can be overwhelming, they are not insurmountable.
They identify six essential “push” and “pull” actions that
can enable big school systems to improve student achievement.
Leaders need to push to challenge the status quo, convey a high
sense of urgency, and have the courage needed to intervene. But
they need to also pull together to create a commonly owned
strategy, develop a professional power of capital, and attend to
sustainability. Examining three major cities - New York, Toronto,
and London - through the decade of 2002–2012, this book weaves
case studies with careful analysis and recommendations to hone in
on which policies and strategies generate quality implementation
that in turn raise the bar for all students and reduce the gap for
the disadvantaged. Big-City School Reforms offers invaluable advice
to those leading the next phase of school reform in cities around
the world.
