This book describes ways that urban districts around the country are becoming “smarter” and outlines the Annenberg Institute's vision of a “smart education system,” linking a highly functioning school district with a broad and accessible web of supports for students and families. Drawing from dozens of examples, Principal Associate Robert Rothman and his AISR colleagues describe how and why urban districts need to build strong relationships with cultural institutions, businesses, government agencies, and nonprofits to support high achievement for all students and offer multiple pathways to education for urban youth.
