Joanne Rutherford’s first graders at Peshine Avenue Elementary School in Newark, N.J., start class by drawing constellations. The classroom is equipped with a smartboard and a fancy projector, but those weren’t bought with the $100 million donated to the city’s public schools in 2010 by Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. In fact, you won’t find any of Zuckerberg’s largess in Mrs. Rutherford’s classroom. At least, not obviously.

“In some ways it’s less tangible,” explains Newark Public Schools Superintendent Cami Anderson, “but in many ways, it’s a lot more systemic and a lot longer lasting.” Anderson says Zuckerberg’s money isn’t buying things, it’s changing how things are done.
