Urban Schools Forum Newsletter
NCIP2
premier issue of "Urban Schools Forum," a newsletter dedicated to expanding the
conversation surrounding urban school improvement. This newsletter serves as a
vehicle to spread the diverse voices of urban education reform and inclusive
community development across the nation.
Through its newsletter, as well as other Institute publications and activities,
the Institute is embarking upon a mission to engage the broadest possible
constituency in an effort to significantly improve the educational and life
opportunities of children and families in our Nation's urban centers. The
Institute seeks to focus attention on a common imperative: to create schools as
communities of learners that build on promise, the possibilities, and the
potential of all of our children.
