Catalyst (your city's name here)

Do the mass media in your city cover the issues that matter most for school improvement?

Do they show how policies and programs work with real kids inside real schools?

Do they give those of you who are working on school improvement the information you need?

If your answers to these questions are no, you may want to explore bringing Catalyst to your city. As with the Chicago and Cleveland editions, your Catalyst would focus on its own citys school system while taking advantage of the resources and expertise that Catalyst has amassed since it was launched in 1990.

Catalyst has and is developing a variety of formats to meet varying needs. These include:

• A newsmagazine that examines issues in depth.
• Briefing papers that highlight key information and findings from how to guides to examinations of emerging policies.
• A web site that catalogs Catalyst articles and supplemental information about your city and makes them readily available through other sites in the Catalyst network.

If your city has a need and the resources to support one or more of these products, send an email to Catalyst Publisher Linda Lenz. She will be pleased to discuss the possibilities with you.
