Cityscapes: Eight Views from the Urban Classroom » (New Edition)

Cityscapes is an honest, inspiring, and practical guide for those dedicated to making urban classrooms work. It presents classroom research from the Urban Sites Network, a loose federation of urban Writing Projects dedicated, in part, to creating long-term communities where urban teachers can ask questions about their classrooms and examine their practice. You'll meet eight teachers who are unafraid of change, who are willing to challenge their own cherished beliefs, who are trying to see through the eyes of their students and their families. This is recommended reading for teachers looking for successful models of teacher research.
