Redondo, Brian – Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund, 2008
No Child Left Behind (NCLB) is a federal education law that was passed in 2001 with the laudable but challenging goal of closing the achievement gap between minority and white students and improving academic achievement among all students. To that end, NCLB has held states, school districts, and individual schools to impossibly high standards of…

Lock, Grahame; Lorenz, Chris – Studies in Philosophy and Education, 2007
The article argues that the most important trends in the recent metamorphosis of higher education, especially of university teaching and research, cannot be understood without placing them in the context of general developments in political life. Both processes reveal alarming features and there is a link between them. In recent decades a religion…

Much of the methodological literature currently influential in the education policy community has focused on research studies and assessments intended to support generalizable conclusions about "what works" or what students "know and can do." Until recently, far less attention has been paid to how educators actually interpret and use this…

De La Rosa, Mari Luna; Tierney, William G. – Center for Higher Education Policy Analysis, University of Southern California, 2006
Rather than promote access, college admissions and financial aid processes often create a series of barriers that the poorest student must overcome to get to college. The Center for Higher Education Policy Analysis (CHEPA) of the Rossier School of Education at the University of Southern California directed a three-year research initiative,…

This brief report analyzes the guidance document with a specific focus on how to ensure Title I schoolwide…

Garfinkel, Irwin; Rainwater, Lee; Smeeding, Timothy M. – Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, 2006
Previous studies find large cross-national differences in inequality amongst rich Western nations, due in large part to differences in the generosity of welfare state transfers. The United States is the least generous nation and the one having the most after-tax and transfer inequality. But these analyses are limited to the effects of cash and…

Woolman, Stuart; Fleisch, Brahm – Perspectives in Education, 2006
