Achieving Coherence in District Improvement focuses on how to effectively manage the relationships between central offices and schools. Based on the study of five large urban districts that have demonstrated improvement in school achievement, the authors argue that there is no "one best way" to structure the central office-school relationship. What does matter is whether district leaders effectively align resources, systems, stakeholders, and culture to create a coherent approach to districtwide improvement.
