Improving Urban Public Education: Lessons from Charter Schools

Опубликовано 22 июня 2016, 20:24

Charter schools represent one of the fastest growing, yet controversial innovations in education reform. In this talk, I will review several papers measuring urban school performance from a series of papers using data from Boston, New York City, Denver, and New Orleans from MIT’s School Effectiveness and Inequality Initiative. In addition to discussing the broader debates on sources of achievement gaps, I will also briefly touch upon some new methodological issues emerging from this work.
