Fulfilling Potential Winfield sees in the new research a way to break the cycle of negative predictions and reactions on the part of most urban educators and policymakers. If all we see is destruction and risk, that is what we'll get with the kids. If we think about their potential, we have more of a chance of solving some of the problems that plague our schools. Across various areas, these researchers urge us to renew urban education by exploring, developing, building on, and challenging the strengths and interests of today's city kids. The Annie E.
