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.

As school systems and communities struggle to improve student learning and bring all students to proficiency, the idea of building capacity has become increasingly critical. Schools and school systems, community organizations, and other agencies need to have the ability to function effectively to ensure that all students learn at high levels. What types of abilities do these agencies and organizations need? How have effective partnerships developed such abilities? This issue of Voices in Urban Education suggests some possibilities. Articles by Robert Rothman, Bill Strickland, Jesse Register and Joanne Thompson, Kavitha Mediratta, Mark R. Warren, Warren Simmons, Joanna Brown. (Fall 2007)
