Standards-Based Reform and the Poverty Gap

The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is the latest in more than two decades of federal efforts to raise educational standards and an even longer stream of initiatives to improve education for poor children. What lessons can we drawfrom these earlier efforts to help NCLB achieve its goals? In Standards-Based Reform and the Poverty Gap, leading scholars in sociology, economics, psychology, and education policy take on this critical question.Gamoran, Adam is the author of 'Standards-Based Reform and the Poverty Gap', published 2007 under ISBN 9780815730330 and ISBN 0815730330.
