Reporting on Race, Education & No Child Left Behind: A Guide for Journalists.
Johnson, Tammy, Ed.
This handbook is a tool that reporters can use to uncover the hidden dimensions of race in public education and ask the right questions about the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Section 1, "Race Revealed", includes "Special Education" (Daniel J. Losen); "Dropout and Graduation Rates" (Daniel J. Losen); "Segregation" (Jacinta Ma and John Yun); and "Sample News Stories: Race Concealed & Revealed in the News" (Jennifer Emiko Boyden). Section 2, "Race and No Child Left Behind," includes "Accountability" (Paul Weckstein); "Testing" (William J. Pittz); "Teacher Quality" (Beverly Cross); and "Reading Instruction" (Harold Berlak). Appended are a glossary of commonly used education terms and an extensive contact list of organizations and individuals who can promote varying perspectives on public education policy and practice. (Contains 89 references.) (SM)
