Making a Difference in Urban Schools evaluates how school and community leaders have worked to change urban education in Canada for the better over the past fifty years.

A study of large-scale education reform in five different settings: England, New Zealand, the Canadian provinces of Alberta and Manitoba and the US state of Minnesota.

Suggestions are constantly being made about the kinds of changes schools should make. Research in this text shows that schools are primarily inward-looking, and would benefit from a better understanding of the changes surrounding them and the pressures on them.

Levin's unique combination of informed analysis with real stories of real events told by participants provides an incisive exploration of government in action.
