Who We Serve
The districts and schools in the U.S. that have faced the greatest challenges are our urban districts. That is consistently true, regardless of the section of the country.
Our center is dedicated to understanding these challenges and to help create solutions that allow our urban youth to succeed. The challenge is not that there are no successful urban schools; there are hundreds. The challenge is getting all schools to those high levels.
This center seeks to study successful schools, schools that aren’t successful and the steps that leaders must take to move more schools into the “successful” category. We strive to prepare principals and central office personnel to help all urban schools become successful.
