Is it possible to fundamentally improve the daily workings of the urban classroom in less than seven years? According to John Simmons, it will take a revolution in the way that leaders of urban school systems think and operate, from the classroom to the boardroom. In this ambitious volume, Simmons and a stellar group of contributors, including Linda DarlingHammond, Richard Elmore, Michael Fullan, Charlotte Danielson, Susan Moore Johnson, Adam Urbanski, Alan Odden, and Valerie Lee, bring the best current research to bear on a range of critical topics, creating a practical framework that superintendents and their teams can use to transform their bigcity school systems into true learning communities. As it integrates many voices into a larger vision, this book: Demonstrates convincingly how current, cuttingedge thinking about system change in business has been used to successfully transform schools and close the achievement gap among diverse students. Provides an overview and assessment of the reform efforts of current largedistrict superintendents, including Alan Bersin, Tom Payzant, Arne Duncan, and Kaye Stripling. Directs the reader towards a larger understanding of issues and priorities with three principles and four key strategies. Applies current research to illuminate what has succeeded and what has not worked in cities such as Boston, San Diego, Houston, and especially Chicago. Features the perspectives and experiences of notable experts who have been working in the trenches of school reform for decades.
