Kick-Starting Reform: Three city-based organizations showing how to transform public education

October 30, 2012

This report, co-authored by the organization now known as Education Cities and Public Impact, profiles three high-impact city-based organizations that are taking significant strides toward reforming their cities’ education systems: The Mind Trust in Indianapolis, New Schools for New Orleans, and The Skillman Foundation in Detroit.

Through these organizations’ efforts, the report identifies a core set of lessons learned for leaders in other cities:

  1. Find the right leader or leadership team;
  2. Embrace strategies and theories of change that reflect local markets;
  3. Develop a bold, comprehensive plan for reform;
  4. Grow talent pipelines;
  5. Support a strong, high-quality charter sector;
  6. Invest in innovation; and,
  7. Engage stakeholders in the community to accelerate reform.
