In the last decade, the Boston Public Schools has undergone
critical reforms that have been of intense interest to school
leaders and policymakers throughout the country. Under the
leadership of superintendent Thomas Payzant, the Boston schools
implemented extensive reform strategies that yielded notable
results. Fittingly, at the end of Payzant's superintendency in
September 2006, the Boston Public Schools received the Broad Prize
for Urban Education for being the most improved urban school
district in the country. A Decade of Urban School Reform looks at
this critical era in the Boston schools and distills valuable
insights and lessons for school leaders and reformers everywhere.
With chapters that explore questions pertaining to governance,
human resources, instruction, data collection, disabilities,
community engagement, and other topics, the book offers a detailed,
comprehensive portrait of a school system managing the complex and
daunting tasks of system-wide reform. The result is a timely,
in-depth contribution to the small group of indispensable writings
on urban school reform.
