Inhaltsangabe:

To provide essential guidance to urban school board members committed to high achievement for all children, Don McAdams presents a comprehensive approach to board leadership he calls reform governance. This accessible framework brings together all the work of an urban school board, including everything from big ideas about core beliefs and theories of action for change, to the fundamental relationships and processes through which boards and superintendents work together, and the leadership role boards have in building community support for sustained change. Taking into account the hot political arena of urban education, reform governance: helps school board members understand why it is necessary to redesign urban districts and what their role in the process should be; sets forth principles that boards can use as guides to action, and gives real-life examples of how they work; and, shows how a strong board and superintendent team can work together to be agents for change.
