"Smart Charter School Caps" Idea Featured in Hopes, Fears, & Reality 2007
Education Sector's Andrew Rotherham authors chapter in the National Charter School Research Project's annual report
- Publication Date:
- December 13, 2007
Education Sector Co-director Andrew Rotherham authors the chapter, "Smart Charter School Caps: A Third Way on Charter School Growth" in the third annual report from the National Charter School Research Project, Hopes, Fears, & Reality: A Balanced Look at American Charter Schools in 2007.
Rotherham draws from the recent Education Sector Idea at Work "Smart Charter School Caps" in his chapter.
"Smart Charter School Caps offer a political and substantive grand bargain that moves beyond today's tired back and forth about caps and expands oppportunity for underserved students," Rotherham writes. "[They] allow for deliberate capacity-driven growth of charter schools, direct new resources to high-quality schools and work within today's political reality where charter schools remain a controversial and leading-edge reform."
The National Charter School Research Project also listed the Education Sector report "A Sum Greater Than the Parts: What States Can Teach Each Other About Charter Schooling" as one of ten notable charter school studies published in 2007.
Read Rotherham's chapter from Hopes, Fears, & Reality 2007 on the National Charter School Research Project's Web site.
