Urban schools in the 21st century face numerous problems including: poverty, violence, underachievement and limited resources. This text examines urban schools in Chicago, where one of the largest experiments in site-based management and accountability has been enacted.

Recenzje

"This book demonstrates the strengths of case studies when they are put together with care and imagination; in this instance, the cases are done in ways that make them particularly compelling. They incorporate a variety of perspectives, make us aware of the human, emotional side of change, and are well constructed; combined with the thoughtful observations made by Rebecca Barr and Marilyn Bizar, they stimulate thought and generate ideas, ideas that can lead to productive research and more effective practice."
—Dan C. Lortie
Professor Emeritus, University of Chicago; From the Foreword

"I found the cases studies effective for generating class discussion about important urban school issues. I recommend the book for use in classes focusing on urban schools and on school reform."
