Urban Education for the 21st Century: Research, Issues, and Perspectives

by Floyd D. Beachum and Festus E. Obiakor

"This book exposes the complexities and realities facing urbanness and urban schools that are inadequately funded and denigrated, along with students who continue to be misidentified, misassessed, miscategorized, misplaced, and misinstructed by illprepared and unprepared educators and service providers. The text demonstrates the comprehensive nature and connectedness of problems and prospects in urban education. This book will be an added resource to researchers, scholars, educators, and service providers. It should be a required text for graduate and undergraduate courses in all branches of education. Additionally, the book will be of interest to education administrators at all levels, public school teachers, policy makers, and change agents."--BOOK JACKET.
