Memphis City Schools
By: Rosabeth M. Kanter and Kevin Morris
Abstract
Associate Superintendent Marieta Harris needs a plan for continuing the momentum of systemic change in this urban school district while facing shifts of leadership and curriculum philosophy, uneven progress on reforms, new tests that put a high proportion of schools on the list of low performers, and political controversy. She must determine which elements of system change need attention and how to get stakeholder support in the eight months before the superintendent is selected.
