CHAPTER 2: Preparing Urban Educators for the Twenty-First Century

ABSTRACT This chapter provides a review of the research related to preparing teachers for urban settings. Specific competencies requisite to the successful preparation of urban teachers are presented, along with the research base supporting these competencies. The authors argue that teacher preparation program features that support the development of these competencies would contribute to a renaissance in teacher education.
