Produktbeschreibung
Charter Schools at the Crossroads offers a frank and nuanced analysis of the successes and shortcomings of the charter movement, and outlines possible directions for the future. Chester E. Finn, Jr., Bruno V. Manno, and Brandon L. Wright write that charters have been "spectacularly uneven in many ways, succeeding wonderfully in some cases while faltering in others." Few recent debates in education have been as highly charged as those over charter schools' roles, responsibilities, and results. The candor of the authors' analysis and the forthrightness of their concerns offer both allies and opponents valuable insight into the workings of a movement whose influence is indisputable and whose future is far from clear. "Finn, Manno, and Wright balance objectivity and a critical eye with the context and nuance only insiders can bring. The result is a terrific analysis of one of the most dynamic school reforms in American history and important ideas on where chartering may go next." --Andrew Rotherham, cofounder and partner, Bellwether Education Partners "Readers will find here perhaps unexpected challenges to the orthodoxy of both proponents and opponents of this institutional innovation, now a second sector of public education. Chartering, the authors write, is here to stay, and needs to be both improved and extended. How far to try to impose order on this dynamic and disorderly sector, they leave you to decide." --Ted Kolderie, cofounder and senior fellow, Education Evolving "With the charter movement in its adolescence, Finn, Manno, and Wright give us a wise, balanced assessment of its strengths and accomplishments to date, and the challenges it must overcome as it moves into young adulthood. Although clearly charter proponents, the authors are highly credible tour guides as they lead us through the complex tangle of policy, regulatory, governance, and funding issues that charter schools must negotiate." --Robert Schwartz, senior research fellow, Harvard Graduate School of Education Chester E. Finn, Jr. is a distinguished senior fellow and president emeritus at the Thomas B. Fordham Institute and a senior fellow at Stanford's Hoover Institution. Bruno V. Manno is a senior advisor for K-12 education at the Walton Family Foundation. Brandon L. Wright is the editorial director of the Thomas B. Fordham Institute.
