As the Center for Urban Education Success is newly created at the University of Rochester, we use a “Plan of Work” featured on this page as a guiding document during our first year. Created in collaboration between the Warner School of Education, our University President, and some of our key donors, this comprehensive plan is organized into five main objectives of the Center: launching the Center, creating a national model, fostering & sharing and dialogue, preparing urban teachers & leaders, and providing consulting services to urban schools. Under each of these general headings, we provide the status of each deliverable task. There is also a link to a more detailed pdf version of our Plan of Work. Although such documents are typically used internally only, we choose to present ours here in our ongoing commitment to transparency, as we believe that in order for our work to be informative and transformative, it must offer insight and specifics as to our goals and our work.
