Making Politics Work

In "Making Politics Work," authors Paul T. Hill and Ashley E. Jochim present a comprehensive examination of how politics can positively influence efforts to reform America's schools. They argue that understanding and navigating political dynamics is crucial for the success of educational initiatives, drawing on over a decade of research across various school systems. By exploring the implementation of the "portfolio strategy" in 27 localities, they offer actionable insights for superintendents, state leaders, and foundation officials to enhance the sustainability of their reform efforts amidst political challenges.
