Klieger, David M.; Adler, Rachel; Ezzo, Chelsea – ETS Research Report Series, 2013
Now is an opportune time to consider new ways to ask registrants for the "GRE"® General Test about their race and ethnicity.

This research seeks…

Noble, Erica Michelle – ProQuest LLC, 2012
Many of America's schools are populated with diverse student populations, while the teaching population remains largely White. This creates dissonance for White teachers and students of color.
