Abstract	The Indicators Project on Education Organizing was designed to examine the role of community organizing in school reform. For over 2 years, researchers documented the education organizing of five urban groups. This report presents an education organizing indicators framework that highlights strategies and accomplishments of education organizing. It describes eight indicator areas: leadership development, community power, social capital, public accountability, equity, school-community connection, positive school climate, and high quality curriculum and instruction. It also describes a theory of change that shows how the work of community organizing groups creates a process that leads from increased community capacity to improved student learning. Seven chapters are (1)"Introduction"; (2) "The Problem and What You Will Learn"; (3) "The Education Organizing Indicators Framework"; (4) "The Change Process"; (5) "Making Sense of the Variation in Community Organizing"; (6) "The Added Value of Community Organizing to School Reform"; and (7) "Challenges and Recommendations for Extending and Supporting the Work of Community Organizing." Five appendices present the five case study groups, a map showing locations of community organizing groups, charts showing characteristics of the 19 telephone survey groups, the Indicators Project National Advisory Board, and the education organizing indicators framework.
