Scholars and activists are finally moving beyond debates over whether to seek policy change through 'top down' or 'bottom up' strategies. The answer, of course, is both at the same time. This book shows us why, and how, to do that. With luck it will reshape the fields not only of education policy but also of urban politics more generally. Jennifer L. Hochschild, Author of Facing up to the American Dream; ""Four of the nation's keenest intellects give us a road map to solving one of our most vexing problems."" John Mollenkopf, Author of a Phoenix in the Ashes and the Contested City; ""This incisive and well-argued book is a breath of fresh air in the school reform debates."" Margaret Weir, Author of Schooling for All

The authors of this work contend that it is essential for all important actors in an urban community to join together in a shared vision of what is wrong in their schools and how to fix it, and to pursue that vision strongly and systematically over a long time.
