CITYSCHOOLS
CITYSCHOOLS is an award-winning research magazine about urban schools and communities published by NCREL. It's about reality -- the day-to-day challenges of teaching, learning, and achieving in an urban context. It provides the latest research, models, and success stories of what works in urban schools. Educators, parents, community members, and policymakers across the nation read and use CITYSCHOOLS to create effective reform and change.
The first issue of CITYSCHOOLS focused on the strengths of city children and teenagers, asking schools to put aside deficit models for understanding urban children and replace them with resilience models. You can read articles from the first issue by clicking on the titles below:
