Book Description
This volume explores key issues within the 21st century which can impact schooling issues for students within urban contexts. It investigates issues which help prepare both preservice and in-service teachers by focusing on both the theoretical underpinnings in the field and historical foundations. Some of the topics discussed here include issues related to the achievement gap, school and community partnerships, charter schools, teacher pay and compensation, culturally relevant pedagogy, teacher motivation, and racial classroom and school fatigue.
