A supplemental text with a fresh, bold edge, Challenges of Urban Education includes a range of topics from quantitative analyses of student demographics to the description and analysis of urban high school students' creative writing. The book bridges the dualisms of local and global, theory and practice, and structure and agency. It furthers the advancement of "the new sociology of education" by making connections between the social context of urban schooling and the lives of the individuals who are affected by it.

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'être 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.

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.

Contemporary problems in urban education are explored in this collection of papers. The leading article discusses the implications of urban decay and demographic change for school finance and educational accountability. The second paper stresses the need for a basic skills curriculum, well-trained teachers, and the inclusion of parents in curriculum decision making and planning. Subsequent articles focus on the objectives of school improvement programs; government responsibility in urban school reform; the "crisis of confidence" in urban schools; school public relations policies; the importance of community support in improving urban schools; the responsibilities of office and support staff; strategies for motivating students in urban schools; and the effects of negative school environments on urban youth. Other topics discussed include the leadership role of the urban school principal, the political responsibilities of school administrators, and a voluntary desegregation plan for the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania public schools. Contributing authors include Scott D. Thomson, Santee Ruffin, Bernard C. Watson, Bernard G. Kelner, Ronald H. Lewis, Mark R. Shedd, Thomas J. Burns, Vincent E. Reed, Larry Ascough, John C.

This report addresses widespread beliefs about the performance of urban students, and their family and school environments. Using data from several national surveys, it compares urban students and schools with their suburban and rural counterparts on a broad range of factors, including student population and background characteristics, afterschool activities, school experiences, and student outcomes, focusing specifically on the effects of poverty. The methodology used to explore differences among schools incorporates a control for the concentration of poverty in the school. Even after controlling for poverty, urban students compared less favorably to their nonurban counterparts on many measures. Urban high poverty schools and students performed similarly or more favorably than other high poverty schools on half of the measures studied, and high poverty concentration seemed to present equally challenging circumstances in all locations. On the other half of the measures, urban schools compared unfavorably, but, when considering the large overall variations by location and poverty concentration, urban high poverty schools and their students were generally no different than the effects of location and poverty concentration would have predicted. Five appendixes provide estimates and standard error tables, discussions of methodology and data sources, and a bibliography. (Contains 11 figures in the Executive Summary, 127 figures in the text, 3 charts, and 52 appendix tables.
