PANEL
DESCRIPTION:
The
four presentations in this symposium provide a comprehensive approach
to promoting equity and empowerment in urban school reform by highlighting
democratic school/community relationships between teachers, parents,
neighborhood activists, policy makers, community development specialists,
and university faculty which: 1) link community development and school
reform in distressed urban neighborhoods; 2) link urban schools and
diverse families through community-based curriculum; 3) redesign teacher
education programs to emphasize democratic collaboration between universities,
schools, and communities; and 4) develop university partnerships for
parent empowerment. In the end the participants discuss the issues
and challenges that arise when university faculty work as community
organizers and activists in urban school reform efforts.

PANEL
DESCRIPTION:
Concerned
by shortages of qualified principals and unconvinced that traditional
university-based educational administration programs could or would
deliver what they needed, a number of urban districts have taken the
lead in mounting home-grown or customized principal preparation programs.
Funded by foundations convinced of the centrality of good school leadership
to any systemic school improvement, districts across the country have
taken the preparation and induction of their next generation of principals
very seriously. The panel brings together key individuals representing
three districts – Boston, New York City, and San Diego, focusing
on (1) curriculum comparisons and commonalties, (2) collaboration
and program development and (3) ways in which these preparation programs
are catalysts for change.

PANEL
DESCRIPTION:
This
interactive symposium has three goals. First, we will provide five
empirical accounts, based upon qualitative and quantitative data,
of collaborative activities in the Boston College/Boston Public Schools
strand of the Massachusetts Coalition for Teacher Quality and Student
Achievement, a Title II Partnership Grant. Second, we will argue that
such collaborations increase the visibility and credibility of educational
research. Third, we will contend that, when taken together, such collaborations
indicate that teacher educators are responding effectively to the
calls of diverse constituents for more engaged, on-the-ground work
with urban teachers and students.
