Herman, David, Jr.; Kraehe, Amelia; Bartholomee, Lucy; Lewis, Tyson – Policy Futures in Education, 2017
Today there is a lot of discussion about creative economies and how cities are the engines driving growth in a variety of industries. But cities are not merely rows of buildings, or sets of laws, such as zoning ordinances or parking regulations. A city is, rather, a set of dynamic experiences that we all participate in as co(labor)ators. As a way…

Lack, Brian – Journal for Critical Education Policy Studies, 2009
The purpose of this paper is to proffer a critical perspective about a specific brand of American schools within the larger charter school movement: the Knowledge Is Power Program (KIPP).

Thacker, Peter; Christen, Richard S. – Educational Forum, 2006
Jonathan Kozol's visit to Portland, Oregon, in April 2005 included a dialogue with 55 urban middle and high school students about inequities in American schools. Students left this conversation with a stronger sense of the systemic impediments to equal education. They also felt that their voice had been heard on a topic of national import. This…

Jones, Alan C. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2007
In this article, the author questions why the resegregation of U.S. schools into two systems--one poor and urban and one well-off and suburban--has remained unnoticed by the public and policy makers. As for state and national policy makers, they have diverted attention away from the deep political, social, and economic forces that have conspired…

Garcia, Veronica – Harvard Educational Review, 2006

Campbell, Peter – Phi Delta Kappan, 2007
Engaging students requires giving them a say in what they learn and how they will learn it. However, in strictly disciplined, rule-bound schools with test-driven curricula, this cannot happen. Edison Schools, Inc., a for-profit Education Management Organization (EMO), and Confluence Academy, an Edison-run school located in one of the most…

Simmons, Warren; Foley, Ellen; Ucelli, Marla – Harvard Educational Review, 2006
Advocates for education reform are becoming increasingly frustrated with the pace of progress in school districts across the United States, especially those in urban communities.

Wilensky, Rona; Kline, D. M., III – Equity and Choice, 1989
The crisis in urban public education is a crisis of community. A program of urban school reform founded on community renewal would operate on the following three levels: (1) strengthening schools as community institutions; (2) reorganizing schools as models of community; and (3) making community issues the focus of study in schools. (AF)

Ross, Jerrold – Arts Education Policy Review, 2005
The decline in public support for the arts is evident in diminished audience approbation as much as in support by public and, increasingly, private sources. This article postulates that the same phenomenon is taking place with the decrease of arts education in our schools. The author argues that our schools are taking on an increasingly…

Nelms, Ben F. – English Education, 2004
In the state of Florida, several of the principles of No Child Left Behind (NCLB) have been enacted earlier than at the federal level. For example, the Florida Comprehensive Achievement Test (FCAT) is required for all students through grade 10 and must be passed for promotion to grade 3 and for high school graduation. Schools are graded A through…
