Title: Urban schools, public will :making education work for all our children /Norm Fruchter ; foreword by Theresa Perry. Author: Fruchter, Norm,1937- Location: 370.973 FRU offsite storage Subject: Education, Urban -- United States. Segregation in education -- United States. Educational change -- United States -- Case studies Published: New York : Teachers College, Columbia University,c2007. ISBN: 0807747408 (pbk : alk. paper) 9780807747407 (pbk : alk. paper) Collation: xii, 177 p. ; 24 cm. General Note: "Norm Fruchter argues that [the U.S] national failure to carry out the Brown mandate has produced segregated urban school systems that fail to educate poor students of color. Drawing on a rich array of research and personal experience, he examines why urban districts have failed and what must be done to transform our city schools. He identifies urban districts as the key actors in this transformation and profiles three school districts that have achieved significant success in closing the achievement gap. He also identifies grassroots community organizing as a critical lever for provoking and supporting meaningful change in schools. This provocative book should be read by all educators, policymakers, parents, and civic activists committed to improving public education for all students." - Back cover.
