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'etre 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.
