Produktbeschreibung
Featuring contributions from today's top scholars in the field of charter school research, this comprehensive volume offers a set of new empirical studies that explore the impact these schools have on teachers, students, educational practices, and school governance. The authors grapple with the effects and challenges of charter school autonomy across a range of areas, from student achievement to special education, staffing patterns to classroom practices, and innovation to equity. Some of the topics covered include: * The characteristics and quality of teachers hired in charter schools. * The extent to which charter schools' enhanced autonomy and accountability have led to altered educational practices. * The opportunities charter schools do, or do not, offer to students and communities who are most in need of improved education. * The growing phenomenon of for-profit Educational Management Organizations (EMOs) as service providers for charter schools. * How these deregulated schools address federal requirements that state laws cannot waive, including the critical issue of special education. * The impact of charter schools on student achievement.
