This looks like an excellent analysis of strategies that are working in our large, urban school districts.

In the foreword of my new book, The Enduring Promise of America’s Great City Schools, former US Secretary of Education Arne Duncan writes, “Running a large, urban school district is among the more challenging jobs in America. It is challenging enough for school superintendents to support learning and drive positive outcomes for increasingly diverse student populations. School leaders must also ensure that kids are safe, healthy, and well fed, that their parents feel welcomed and included, that their teachers feel valued and motivated, and that school board members and elected officials who provide the funding feel the funding is justified and the results are positive. These challenges are exponentially greater when the student population approaches that of a midsize American city.” The new book describes how and why some city school systems make more academic progress than others, and it lays out a path forward for urban public education.
