Review of Against the Odds: Insights from One District's Small School Reform. Harvard Education Press.	2015	7	.pdf	application/pdf	2439	109	52	While the title highlights the book‟s applicability to small school reform, the authors touch upon issues and topics that seem endemic to many reform endeavors— tensions between local control and centralized authority, the need to create a shared vision for reform, and strategies for enlisting broad support for change.
