Barbara Schram graduated from Antioch College, and received master's degrees in both sociology and social work from Columbia University and a doctorate from Harvard University with a specialization in education and social policy. She worked as the program direction of a large recreational and cultural organization, planning programs for children and young adults and supervising staff who delivered these services. Barbara spent several years as the director of a community agency in a low-income urban area, helping parents become involved in their children's education and effect changes in the schools that better reflected their cultural background and values. She spent 26 years at Northeastern University, where she originated and then taught in the Human Services program. She designed appropriate courses and supervised student internships. Barbara has done extensive volunteer work with citizen groups involved in interracial and special needs adoptions, improving services for persons with learning disabilities, and improving prison education programs. In addition to this text she has written more than 20 articles and a book entitled Creating the SmallScale Social Program: From Idea to Implementation to Evaluation.
