In 2014, The Urban Education Collaborative at the University of
North Carolina at Charlotte hosted its first biennial International
Conference on Urban Education (ICUE) in Montego Bay, Jamaica. In
2016, the second hosting of the conference took place in San Juan,
Puerto Rico. Additionally, in 2018, the third hosting of the
conference took place in Nassau, Bahamas. These solution-focused
conferences brought together students, teachers, scholars, public
sector and business professionals as well as others from around the
world to present their research and best practices on various
topics pertaining to urban education. With ICUE's inspiration, this
book is a response to the growing need to highlight the
multifaceted aspects of urban education particularly focusing on
common issues and solutions in urban environments (e.g., family and
community engagement, student academic achievement, teacher
preparation and professional development, targeted instructional
and disciplinary interventions, opportunity gaps,
culturally-relevant and sustaining practices, etc.). Additionally,
with this book, we seek to better understand the challenges facing
urban educators and students and to offer progressive initiatives
toward resolutions. This unique compilation of work is organized
under four major themes all targeted at critically addressing
concerns that may inhibit the success of urban learners and
providing solutions that have implications for curriculum design,
development, and delivery; teacher preparation and teaching diverse
populations; career readiness and employment; and even more nuanced
issues related to foster care, undocumented students and mental
health, sustainable consumption, childhood marriage, food deserts,
and marine life and urban communities.
