    1/1/06 - Lynn K. Wilder, Elizabeth J. Rotz , Amy W. Sonntag, Equity Alliance at ASU

    This On Point is for all teachers who want to explore issues around homeless children. Students who experience homelessness are people first. Like their peers, they have unique hopes, dreams, cultural heritages, abilities, disabilities, and unique personality traits. As urban schools become more sophisticated in developing their support systems for students, it is important that systems stress personalization rather than generalization. The authors discussed that homelessness is a serious...

    1/1/01 - Russell Gersten , Scott Baker, Equity Alliance at ASU

    Anyone involved with schools — especially urban schools — knows firsthand how often discussions of bilingual education generate more heat than light.

We think that the following review by Russell Gersten and Scott Baker brings some needed illumination to this controversial area. Our hope is that educators and...

    America's private public schools

    1/1/10 - Michael F. Petrilli, Janie Scull

    "In this report, we identify public schools whose doors are effectively closed to poor children. These institutions—generally found in wealthy urban enclaves or well-heeled suburbs—educate many of the children of America’s elite while proudly waving the “public school” flag. But they hardly embody the “common school” ideal. In fact, by exclusively serving well-off children, they are arguably more private—certainly more exclusive—than many elite private schools, which, after...
