Preferred term

urban schools, essential supports for reform  

Definition

  • The Consortium on Chicago School Research (CCSR) at the University of Chicago's Urban Education Institute has identified a set of organizational structures and practices that, if put into place in serious ways, significantly raises the likelihood that elementary students will make increasingly larger gains in reading and mathematics over time. The key characteristics, which are called the “essential supports,” are school leadership, parent and community ties, professional capacity of the faculty, student-centered learning climate, and instructional guidance.
