- Summary:
-
The Urban Education Project at Research for Better Schools, Inc. has developed an integrated knowledge base that incorporates and disseminates the most current and promising research for improvement and reform in urban schools. This knowledge base has been organized into a decision-making framework, the Urban Learner Framework (ULF), that challenges generalizations of urban learners as deprived, underachieving, unmotivated, and at-risk. It presents instead a view of the urban learner as culturally diverse, capable, and resilient. The ULF is a paradigm shift in research and educational theory. This document, which provides an overview of the ULF, also describes the four research-based themes that are its foundation, and the ramifications of these themes for practice in the schools. Following the overview are four staff development modules that represent each of the themes: (1) cultural diversity and learning; (2) unrecognized ability and underdeveloped potential; (3) enhancing ability development through motivation and effort; and (4) resilience. Each module includes a training guide and handouts. One figure illustrates the ULF concept. (Contains 42 references.) (SLD)
