O knihe

A volume in The Achievement Gap, Research, Practice, and Policy
C. Kent McGuire and Vivian W. Ikpa, Series Editors
This is the second book in the series examining student achievement. The chapters in this
book reflect the scholarly papers presented at the July 2006 Education Policy, Leadership
Summer Institute (EPLSI) by K-16 educators, researchers, community advocates, and
policymakers who work in urban communities. The Institute serves as a place where individuals
interested in scholarly discussions and research directly related to: (1) how data
can be utilized to inform policy; (2) examining the urban school context from the perspectives
of the polity, school leaders; students; and other related internal and external actors;
and (3) identifying strategies for improving student academic achievement can gather.
During this week-long Institute, participants examined the structural problems and policy tensions affecting urban communities
and student achievement. The Institute's theme, Meeting the Challenges of Urban Schools is reflected throughout this
book. Specifically, this edition explores the interrelated aspects of policy, practice and research and how they affect academic
achievement.
The five sections in this book examine different challenges facing urban schools and their impact on student performance.
