A Blueprint for Change in Education

Making Schools Work documents the remarkable achievements of Dr. Marcus A. Foster, who became nationally recognized for transforming "problem schools" in Philadelphia and later leading the Oakland Unified School District as superintendent.

Originally published in 1971, Making Schools Work remains vital to education and equity conversations.
