       The National Institute for Urban School
Improvement is pleased to
                         announce its Web site at:

                           http://www.edc.org/urban

Funded by the Office of Special Education Programs
in the U.S. Department of
Education, the Institute has been designed to
support capacity building in urban
schools and school districts.  Our mission is to
support inclusive urban
communities,schools and families to develop
sustainable, successful urban
schools through networking, technology, action
research, information systems,
professional development schools, model building,
consensus building, and
dissemination.

Top 5 Reasons to Visit the Urban Institute's Web Site:

*  Facilitated Discussion Forums, linking a
national network of individuals
committed to improving educational outcomes for
children and youth with
disabilities in urban schools.  This is a place for
visitors to discuss timely
information, post questions, connect with others,
and provide communication and
perspectives to Institute leadership and staff.  In
the future, we will be
offering online events and workshops related to
urban school improvement.

*  A searchable Resource Database to help bridge
the gap between research and
practice in the overlapping fields of urban
education reform and inclusive
schooling practices.  Search for annotated
references to book and journal
articles, videos, position papers, project reports,
program descriptions, and a
variety of other media.

*  A calendar database of upcoming conferences,
workshops, seminars, courses,
calls for papers, and other events in the fields of
urban education and
inclusive schooling.  Browse upcoming events and/or
suggest events for the
database we do not know about.

*  E-News, an electronic newsletter delivered via
email.  E-News is designed to
keep visitors of our site who have indicated an
interest in our work informed of
new developments in urban education and inclusive
schooling via electronic mail.

visitors of the work of the
Institute and other organizations engaged in
similar work, upcoming conferences
and events, new online and off-line products and
resources, and other news
happening in the field.  Sign up to receive E-News
