This report presents summaries of five case studies from the Indicators Project on Education Organizing, which was designed to examine the role of community organizing in school reform. For over 2 years, this action research project documented the education organizing of five urban groups. The research developed an Education Organizing Indicators Framework that documented observable outcomes in schools and student learning. The framework focused on eight indicator areas (leadership development, community power, social capital, public accountability, equity, school-community connection, positive school climate, and high quality curriculum and instruction). The five case study organizations in this report are: The Alliance Organizing Project, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; the Logan Square Neighborhood Association, Chicago Illinois; New York ACORN, New York, New York; and Oakland Community Organizations, Oakland, California. Two appendices present definitions of indicator areas and the Indicators Project advisory group. (SM)
