Why go into urban teaching?

The faces and languages of America are changing. Media of communication, expression, and knowledge are changing. Schools are changing, and talk of change is in the air. As an urban teacher, these exciting shifts will be at the center of your work.  If you want to work with amazing students who will transform your life every day, become an urban teacher.
