Presenting the views of the most prominent researchers of school choice reforms in the United States, this book argues that the contexts under which school choice plans are adopted are actually responsible for shaping student diversity within schools. Using sociological, economic, and political analysis, the authors present studies of controlled and voluntary choice plans, charter schools, private school selection, and their interaction with race, social class, gender, and student disability. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA diverse group of well-known scholars that present empirical evidence and fresh viewpoints on school choice and its impact on student diversity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscussion of various school choice options, including magnet schools, charter schools, single-gender schools, and private schools.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn examination of choice's effects on other reforms and policies, such as desegregation and school improvement.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdvice for policymakers and school officials who are interested in increasing parental choices while also protecting equal access to public schooling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janelle Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807745995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807745991\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Teachers College Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/20\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.26h x 6.32w x 0.69d","brand":"Janelle Scott","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48587652038911,"sku":"9780807745991","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bcc2865b-2339-4b7b-a9ff-75305c392b6b.jpg?v=1780169543","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/school-choice-and-diversity-janelle-scott-9780807745991","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
