Race, Instruction, and Learning

Dreeben, Robert; Gamoran, Adam

American Sociological Review, v51 n5 p660-69 Oct 1986

Results show that black students are exposed to restricted learning opportunities because of district and school differences in the availability of technological resources. (Author/PS)
