Educating Disadvantaged Learners.

Ornstein, Allan C.

Educational Forum, v47 n2 p225-47 Win 1983

Studies in the 1960s showed that school reform has little effect on reducing achievement differences associated with social background. More recent studies have indicated that schools can be effective for disadvantaged students if systematic efforts are made to develop effective leadership and improve the teaching-learning process.
