SynopsisThis text identifies roles for foundations and civic groups in defining strategies for big-city school reform and in ensuring that promised changes are implemented. According to the contributors, the current system of public education governance prevents creation of reform strategies that are bold enough to transform a troubled school system. It is also unable to sustain any consistent line of action long enough for it to work. The governance system also leaves critical issues to chance, such as the freedom of schools to select staff, make strategic use of funds and allocate time. The contributors assert that non-governmental institutions can remedy these deficiencies, formulating bold strategies and making sure they are implemented. To accomplish these ends, the authors suggest the establishment of several independent institutions to support the reform of big-city schools., Bringing change to our public school system is hard, and the current system of education governance creates barriers that can make that reform even harder., Bringing change to our public school system is hard, and the current system of education governance creates barriers that can make that reform even harder. Here six authorities in public education discuss how local philanthropies can overcome them even if school districts cannot. Making School Reform Work identifies new institutions that can be created by foundations and civic groups to remedy deficiencies in local school governance, formulate bold reforms, and guarantee implementation. These institutions include incubators for starting new schools, independent data analysis centers, public-private partnerships for recruitment and training of school leaders, and new ways of funding and managing school facilities. The contributors are Sarah Brooks (Carleton College), Michael DeArmond (University of Washington), Marguerite Roza (University of Washington), and Abigail Winger (Milwaukee consultant). , This text identifies roles for foundations and civic groups in defining strategies for big-city school reform and in ensuring that promised changes are implemented.
