Peña, Samuel D. – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Urban K-12 public schools often face challenges that are not found in schools located in suburban areas. Students in urban schools are often not prepared to attend college and are more likely to drop out of high school. This is often the result of limited resources in urban schools, yet educators are expected to close the achievement gap and…

A lack of diversity permeates the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) field.

Pandya, Jessica Zacher; Low, David E. – Written Communication, 2020
In this article, we examine how children ages 8 to 10 characterized the audiences of digital videos they made in school. Children's perceptions of their viewers reflected, and in many cases complicated, current theorizing about the vast potential audiences of digital texts. Our analysis of videos and interview data surfaces several findings…

Lake, Robin; Yatsko, Sarah; Gill, Sean; Opalka, Alice – Center on Reinventing Public Education, 2017
In cities where public charter schools serve a large share of students, the costs of ongoing sector divisions and hostility across district and charter lines fall squarely on students and families.

Diehl, David; Marx, Robert – AERA Online Paper Repository, 2016
Recent years have witnessed not only the growth of charter schools, but also a surge of philanthropies acting as institutional entrepreneurs who offer both funding and legitimacy.

Perry, Mary; Myung, Jeannie; Hough, Heather J. – Policy Analysis for California Education, PACE, 2020
In 2018, California's education community was preparing for a pivotal moment. A new governor would soon take the reins and voters would elect a new superintendent of public instruction. The "Getting Down to Facts II" (GDTFII) project, released in September 2018, assessed the state of preK-12 education in California. As year 2 of…

Browning, Andrea – National Charter School Resource Center, 2021

Foreman, Leesa M.; Maranto, Robert – School Leadership & Management, 2018
Reflecting post-bureaucratic organisation theory, education reformers intended charter schools to empower school-level leaders, most typically principals, with autonomy to pursue clear, student-centred missions.
