Urban schools represent educational challenges for teachers, but they can also provide models for effective instruction for linguistically, culturally, and racially diverse students. In this Reading Research Into the Classroom column, the authors examine the research on high-achieving urban schools and make appropriate instructional recommendations in order for other schools to find the same success.
