Drawing on the stunning achievements of districtwide school improvement in Duval County, Florida, Jonathan Supovitz develops a sophisticated and thoughtful analysis of the role of the school district in implementing large-scale reform. The Case for District-Based Reform seamlessly weaves together the account of leadership and change in one district with an investigation of the larger questions associated with districtwide school reform. "This is a wise and practical analysis of how school improvement works, at the school and district level. Supovitz shows us the successful practice of instructional leadership in a real setting with real problems and constraints. This is a basic source for anyone interested in large-scale school improvement." -- Richard F. Elmore, Gregory Anrig Professor of Educational Leadership, Harvard Graduate School of Education "The Case for District-Based Reform is a wonderful book. I have been working closely with leading school districts in the last decade and Supovitz captures all the key issues. Great, powerful insights, clearly expressed--Supovitz nails the problem and promise of the role of the district in bringing about meaningful, sustainable reform." -- Michael Fullan, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto "The Case for District-Based Reform provides readers with a panoramic view of Duval County's extraordinary journey to provide broad-scale improvement for all schools. Jonathan Supovitz's book chronicles one superintendent's attempt to navigate the often turbulent process of making a school system, rather than an individual school, the unit of change. It is a must-read for leaders interested in sustaining long-term district success." -- Arlene Ackerman, Professor of Practice, Teachers College, Columbia University, Former Superintendent, San Francisco Unified School District "Supovitz has written a hallmark volume on the critical importance of school districts in the school improvement equation. It offers a well-crafted and beautifully illustrated blueprint for recreating districts in the service of learning and teaching." -- Joseph F. Murphy, Professor of Education, Vanderbilt University Jonathan A. Supovitz is an associate professor at the University of Pennsylvania and a senior researcher at the Consortium for Policy Research in Education.
