=What is the Culture of Urban Schools?= Culture is a contested term. There is no one definition of culture. As such, there is also no one definition of the culture of urban schools. Throughout the semester, our goal in this course is to use our experiences, prior knowledge, theoretical texts, and cultural artifacts to develop individual and collective definitions of the culture of urban schools. Throughout the semester, this wiki space will facilitate the co-construction of our understanding of urban school culture and what this means for practice, research and policy. We will use this space to share readings and resources, have discussions, manage day to day course organization and tasks, and give and receive peer feedback.

Course Readings
Readings for the co-facilitated class sessions will be posted on the Course Readings page 1-2 weeks before the class during which they will be discussed.

How to Use the Wiki
A wiki works just like a webpage, except the owner of the wiki (me) can invite people to edit this web page too. This way, we can collaborate on building the web content to meet our needs as a class. To get started, use the navigation bar to the left to visit a page you would like to view or edit. Once you navigate to a page you would like to edit, click on the EDIT link on the top right of this screen. Once you have done that, you can type on the screen and use the tool bar just as you would if you were using a word processor. By using the link button or the file button on the tool bar, you can also create hyperlinks to other sites and upload files that you would like to share.
