    摘要、提要註: Urban education is the primary target of the school reform movement and remains the most difficult to assess and repair. The crisis in urban school systems mirrors many of the problems found inbig cities - poor economic conditions for schools and families, personnel shortages andhigh turnover rates, improper facilities and materials, and political struggles over issues of structure and control. This book analyses the problems affecting urban schools and their students and the efforts that have been made to make these schools more accountable and effective. This book is organized in three parts. Part one provides an overview ofmany of the issues facing urban school districts, their students and their communities including meeting the needs of racially, ethnically, linguistically andculturally diverse populations, financing schools located in economically disadvantaged areas, and attracting and maintaining qualified teachers and administrators. Part two examines the impact demands for increased accountability and equity influence urban education reform. The issues discussed inthis section include academic standards and high stakes testing, technology and the digital divide,the roleof leadership and impact of teacher shortages, and school finance and public policy. Part three focuses on strategies developed to reform andimprove urban school systems. These chapters examine federal educationpolicy, the impact of school choice and related issues such as privatization andvouchers, the influence of community involvement, and state sponsored reform and reorganization efforts.
