    HBS Cases: Making Lincoln Center Cool Again

    by Kim Girard

    Promoting a Management Revolution in Public Education

    by Stacey M. Childress, Richard Elmore & Allen S. Grossman

    Public school districts are difficult to lead and manage, and the idea of applying business principles to school reform is popular. But is it practical? This paper describes the work of Harvard's Public Education Leadership Program as it helps school districts grapple with performance challenges, including student achievement that compares unfavorably with other countries, and a significant performance gap between white and minority students. Complicating the picture: The concept of managing for accountability is new in education. The authors studied the effects of improved management on public school student performance by comparing fifteen large urban school districts with similar peer districts. Key concepts include: There is a connection between improved management and better educational outcomes. Districts that organized activities more coherently and focused efforts on the "core business" of student performance and classroom instruction outperformed other school districts suffering similar constraints.
