School Choice and School Improvement

Mon, April 16, 2:15 to 3:45pm, Vancouver Convention Centre, Floor: Second Level, East Room 14

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

School choice continues to grow and evolve, and the amount of research on the subject has increased significantly in the past decade. The papers in this session bring together exemplary, policy-relevant research on school choice options as they are defined and limited by policy and geographic boundaries. The authors examine how communities, districts, and states use choice as a strategy for improving schools and student learning. The papers examine such topics as parent preferences in choosing schools, competitive effects from charter schools, effects of intradistrict choice, and racial or ethnic segregation in schools—all with the goal of informing educational research, policy, and practice. The authors provide research and empirical data to answer central policy questions.
