Big cities have mostly failed in their efforts to reform public schools. This book shows whyand 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.

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 citiesNew York, Toronto, and Londonthrough the decade of 20022012, 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.
