Restructuring High Schools for Equity and Excellence: What Works (Sociology of Education Series)

Do students who attend restructured high schools learn more? Is learning in these schools equal for students of different social groups? This distinctive volume is the first to explore these questions using data from a large national survey. Demonstrating empirical links to achievement, this book investigates how restructuring relates to such organizational and structural properties of schools as their size, the curriculum, instruction, their teachers' attitudes toward students, and how they press their students to work hard and succeed.Julia B. Smith is the author of 'Restructuring High Schools for Equity and Excellence: What Works (Sociology of Education Series)' with ISBN 9780807740552 and ISBN 0807740551.
