Urban Education is a journal that publishes papers addressing urban issues related to those from birth through graduate school, from both a U.S. and an international perspective. The journal publishes research and conceptual reviews that contribute new, extensive, and expanded knowledge regarding theory, research and/or practice in the field. The journal welcomes reports of qualitative and quantitative empirical studies and theoretical reviews of high quality. The journal is organized around eight main interdisciplinary areas:

  • Curriculum and Instruction: Submissions that address curriculum and instructional practices related to urban education. In particular, empirical and theoretical papers that focus succinctly on what students have the opportunity to learn and on instructional practices in P-12 social contexts are welcome. Papers that address general curriculum and instructional practices such as classroom management practices, the sociology of classrooms, identity development, as well as those focusing specifically on curriculum and instruction in a particular subject matter area such as Mathematics, Language Arts, Social Studies/History, Science, Physical Education, Music, and Art are encouraged.
  • Counseling and Social Services: Submissions are welcome that address counseling and other social and human services (such as social work).
  • Educational Policy: Submissions that address contemporary educational policy and P-12 urban school contexts are encouraged. Policy analyses that penetrate structural and systemic inequity should situate and explicitly demonstrate innovative implications for P-12 educational institutions.

  • Equity in Urban Education: On occasion, papers might not focus specifically on an issue outlined above but will have important equity implications for the field of urban education. These empirical and/or conceptual reviews might focus on issues related to race, gender, identity, poverty, sexual orientation, religion, class, socio-economic status, and/or geography.
  • Leadership: Submissions that address P-12 leadership (superintendents, principals, assistant principals, teacher leaders, instructional coaches, athletic coaches, and so forth) are encouraged.
  • Psychology and Human Development: Submissions are welcome that address psychological and socio-emotional developmental perspectives in urban education.

  • Special Education: Submissions are welcome that address special, exceptional, and gifted education in P-12 urban school contexts. Authors are cautioned to refrain from positioning subject participants from/in a deficit perspective.

  • Teacher Education: Submissions are welcome that address preparation of both pre-service and in-service teachers for urban educational contexts. In particular, analyses that look structurally at the preparation for teachers and that are grounded in broader policy and theoretical discourses will be considered. Both general teacher preparation and subject matter specific preparation (such as Mathematics, Language Arts, Social Studies/History, Science, Physical Education, Music, and Art) will be considered.
  • Global Issues and Perspectives: Manuscripts that are written by international, as well as U.S. authors are encouraged to be submitted. Papers that examine international issues with specific links to urban education are especially encouraged.
