Changing Classes tells the story of Willow Run, a small, poor, ethnically-mixed town in Michigan's rust belt, a community in turmoil over the announced closing of a nearby auto assembly plant. As teachers and administrators began to find ways to make schooling more relevant to working-class children, two large-scale school reform initiatives swept into town: the Governor's market-place reforms and the National Science Foundation's state systemic initiative. Against the backdrop of a post-fordist economy, the author shows complex linkages at work as society structures the development of children to adulthood.
