E-Newsletter, June 2007
New at the
Annenberg Institute for School Reform at Brown University
BUILDING “SMART EDUCATION SYSTEMS”
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, is explored in a new book from Harvard Education Press. In City Schools: How Districts and Communities Can Create Smart Education Systems, 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.

EDUCATING NEWCOMERS
The national debate on immigration has heated up again, but for the more than 8 million immigrants and children of immigrants in the U.S., and for the educators and community leaders who work with them every day, the issue is not rhetorical – it is very real. What is the best way to educate newcomers? And how can schools employ the assets that newcomers bring to schools? In the latest issue of Voices in Urban Education, five authors – Eugene E. García, William Celis III, Alina Newman, Margarita Calderón, and Lorna Fast Buffalo Horse – offer perspectives on these questions and suggest ways that schools can ensure that immigrant students succeed.
