Many factors complicate the education of urban students. Among them have been issues related to population density; racial ethnic cultural and linguistic diversity; poverty; racism (individual and institutional); and funding levels. Although urban educators have been addressing these issues for decades placing them under the umbrella of "urban education" and treating them as a specific area of practice and inquiry is relatively recent. Despite the wide adoption of the term a consensus about its meaning exists at only the broadest of levels. In short urban education remains an ill-defined concept. This comprehensive volume addresses this definitional challenge and provides a 3-part conceptual model in which the achievement of equity for all -- regardless of race gender or ethnicity is an ideal that is central to urban education. The model also posits that effective urban education requires attention to the three central issues that confronts all education systems (a) accountability of individuals and the institutions in which they work (b) leadership which occurs in multiple ways and at multiple levels and (c) learning which is the raison d'tre of education. Just as a three-legged stool would fall if any one leg were weak or missing each of these areas is essential to effective urban education and affects the others. YE14516.
