January 2013, as this issue of "Voices in Urban Education" ("VUE") goes to press, marks the beginning of a new presidential term--a good opportunity to gather ideas, reflect on what's working and what needs improvement, and rethink policies. The year 2013 also marks the Annenberg Institute for School Reform's (AISR's) twentieth anniversary of research and capacity building in support of equity and excellence in urban public education, working side by side with a broad range of partners across the nation. The Institute has learned a great deal in those two decades--both from their successes and from their disappointments. Informed by those experiences, AISR colleagues present the thirty-sixth issue of "VUE"--featuring, for the first time, AISR authors for all the articles--to share their recommendations for the next four years of federal education policy. A summary of those recommendations is presented herein.
