GSE Perspectives on Urban Education
Hello folks! I am excited to share with you a new resource to support our ongoing professional learning and inquiry in the Cornerstone network. This online journal, Perspectives (for short), was launched last spring and was met with a great reception by educators both nationally and internationally. Recently, I joined the editorial board of this journal and have great interest in sharing it with you, especially as the ideas raised in this issue connect with some of the conversations we are having as a Cornerstone network. There are several main sections in the journal, including "Notes from the Field", in which practitioners and researchers share their works-in-progress, and "Reviews," in which different educational resources are reviewed by a range of graduate students and educators, alike. I encourage you to check it out and consider submitting your experiences as they relate to the upcoming calls for papers (see below for description). Happy Reading! Perspectives is an electronic journal whose purpose is to foster conversations about the complexities of urban education among practitioners, researchers, policymakers and graduate students, groups who often work in isolation from each other. The journal welcomes submissions on a variety of topics related to urban education from a wide range of authors to contribute to the ongoing conversations. The second issue of Penn GSE Perspectives on Urban Education is now online! This issue features the works of the plenary speakers and presenters at the 2002 Ethnography in Education Research Forum held at the Graduate School of Education of the University of Pennsylvania. You will also find links to the latest school reform news from Philadelphia. We've continued to explore the possibilities of this on-line resource - this issue contains video from the Ethnography Forum and a new discussion board for comments and conversation. CALL
FOR PAPERS!
