Zusammenfassung
Overview of research on & practical applications of school reforms related to school choice (including charter schools & traditional private/parochial schools) & "best systems" (school reform initiatives & new systems of education developed).
Zusatztext
"Wang and Walberg close by restating their purpose, 'to describe rather than endorse' examples of school choice and 'best systems.' This book fulfills that purpose by providing an overview of efforts to improve education written by well-known researchers and educational leaders presenting their views."
