The project, which he calls, The Chastened Dream, will look at how publicly - oriented professional schools, including those focused on education, public health, public policy, and
urban planning and design, develop knowledge that they hope will be useful for
ameliorating poverty, curing disease, improving education, and increasing the quality of life for us all.
We heard similar criticisms about the effectiveness of state support - system interventions for low - performing schools in one of our large, high -
poverty, low - performing
urban school districts — where (again) the district developed no plan for systematic intervention to
ameliorate the problem.
