Kenneth Wong to Head Brown's New Urban Education Policy Program
Brown University has appointed Dr. Kenneth Wong the first Walter and Leonore Annenberg Professor for Education Policy and Professor of Education. He will hold joint appointments with the Education Department and with the Annenberg Institute, where he will help to develop new initiatives. Dr. Wong will be responsible for launching Brown's new master's program in urban education policy (to begin in June 2006). The 12-month program to prepare students for professional careers involving policy development and analysis in urban public education is a collaborative effort of the Institute, the Education Department, the Taubman Center for Public Policy, and The Education Alliance.

Portraits of Coaches in the Classroom
The Annenberg Institute has produced a set of portraits of high school literacy coaches working in two sites that are part of Carnegie Corporation's Schools for a New Society initiative. The 44-page publication, Coaches in the High School Classroom, features close-ups of six coaches in Boston and Houston. Intended to provide fuel for discussion, the portraits are interspersed with guiding questions and followed by several tools that can be used for further discussion, assessment, and analysis of coaching programs.

Toward Whole Communities of Successful Schools
The Annenberg Institute's Emerging Knowledge Forums are designed to address the key challenge facing urban districts today: finding ways to create whole communities of successful schools. The focus of the second annual Forum, in March 2005, was the interaction of Results + Equity + Community in developing "smart systems" of schools that serve all their students well. Eight urban communities presented cutting-edge approaches to systemwide capacity building that helped participants gain new knowledge about smart systems. Summaries and background materials from Forum presentations and discussions are available on the Institute's Web site, along with materials from the 2004 Forum.

Community Partnerships that Enhance Learning: VUE 7
The Spring 2005 issue of the Annenberg Institute's quarterly journal, Voices in Urban Education, examines the potential for community partnerships as a means to enhance learning opportunities for young people. Educators increasingly recognize that such partnerships can broaden and deepen student learning, offering opportunities that schools alone cannot provide. This issue asks what makes some community partnerships effective and looks at successful partnerships in four very different cities.
