Adult Education In The Urban Context: Serving Low Income Urban

Abstract

A review of the literature on “urban education” reveals that the urban context is considered an important determinant of practice for K-12 teachers and administrators located in urban schools. Several professional journals, such as, the Journal of Urban History, the Urban Education Review, Urban Education, and others routinely publish articles that address research, theory, policy, and practice concerns of K-12 urban professionals. Yet there is a dearth of literature that addresses the issues and concerns faced by adult education professionals in urban communities.
