{"product_id":"urban-education-paperback-softback","title":"Urban Education - Paperback \/ softback","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany factors complicate the education of urban students. Among them have been issues related to population density; racial, ethnic, cultural, and linguistic diversity; poverty; racism (individual and institutional); and funding levels. Although urban educators have been addressing these issues for decades, placing them under the umbrella of \"urban education\" and treating them as a specific area of practice and inquiry is relatively recent. Despite the wide adoption of the term a consensus about its meaning exists at only the broadest of levels. In short, urban education remains an ill-defined concept. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis comprehensive volume addresses this definitional challenge and provides a 3-part conceptual model in which the achievement of equity for all -- regardless of race, gender, or ethnicity – is an ideal that is central to urban education. The model also posits that effective urban education requires attention to the three central issues that confronts all education systems (a) \u003cem\u003eaccountability\u003c\/em\u003e of individuals and the institutions in which they work, (b) \u003cem\u003eleadership\u003c\/em\u003e, which occurs in multiple ways and at multiple levels, and (c) \u003cem\u003elearning\u003c\/em\u003e, which is the raison d'être of education. Just as a three-legged stool would fall if any one leg were weak or missing, each of these areas is essential to effective urban education and affects the others. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45584927359214,"sku":"9780415872416","price":170.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9780415872416.jpg?v=1721115409","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/urban-education-paperback-softback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
