Once again, Columbia University professor, Christopher Emdin, puts forth a rapid fire and common sense proposal for rethinking urban — and really ANY — education to ensure it is student focused, relevant, and purposefully engaging.

- Co-Teaching
- Cosmopolitanism
- Context
- Content
(Notice that content is last. Students need to know that they come first if there is to be any meaningful delivery of content.)
