Description+

Here is the essential collection of Larry Cuban’s writings on urban school reform spanning his 45-year career. These carefully selected studies and articles examine instructional, curricular, organizational, and governance reform in mostly poor and minority districts and schools. The volume includes an Introduction and Epilogue that frames the book, giving readers a sense of Cuban’s career as teacher, administrator, and researcher, and how those experiences were intimately tied to the writings presented here. Cuban’s deep compassion for students and educators, and his commitment to educational equality for all children, is evident in every page of this stunning collection.

Book Features:

  • Brings together in one volume the insights gained from decades of thinking about and working in schools.
  • Describes how the current standards and accountability movement, propelled by the No Child Left Behind Act, has had mixed effects upon schools, teaching, and learning.
  • Argues convincingly that the problems of inner-city schools can be solved when communities and schools work together to reduce poverty and racism within the larger society.
  • Offers empirically based and practical knowledge about ways to maximize the possibilities for successful school reform.

"A fascinating review of Larry Cuban's 45-year-long quest for urban school reform."
—Jack Jennings, Center on Education Policy, Washington, D.C.

“If heeded, Cuban’s clarion call for school reform will help our nation move closer to the ideals of justice and equality that it loudly proclaims around the world.”
—James A. Banks, University of Washington, Seattle
