This idea comes from the Institute's Task Force on the Future of Urban Districts. The volume outlines the components of the smart education system, using examples from different cities, approaches for building one, and challenges that may occur along the way. They discuss the achievement gap and knowledge and skills that students need, how focus on improving a district (rather that separate schools) is key, and the involvement of community organizations and agencies. Detailed case studies of school systems in Chattanooga-Hamilton County in Tennessee, and Dallas, Texas, are provided. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
