Exploring the School Choice Universe: Evidence and Recommendations
gives readers a comprehensive, complete picture of choice policies
and issues. In doing so, it offers cross-cutting insights that are
obscured when one looks only at single issue or a single approach
to choice. The book examines choice in its various forms: charter
schools, home schooling, online schooling, voucher plans that allow
students to use taxpayer funds to attend private schools, tuition
tax credit plans that provide a public subsidy for private school
tuition, and magnet schools and other forms of public school intra-
and interdistrict choice. It brings together some of the top
researchers in the field, presenting a comprehensive overview of
the best current knowledge of these important policies. The
questions addressed in Exploring the School Choice Universe are of
most importance to researchers and policy makers. What do choice
programs actually do? What forms do they take? Who participates,
and why? What are the funding implications? What are the results of
different forms of school choice on outcomes that matter, like
student performance, segregation, and competition effects? Do they
affect teachers' working conditions? Do they drive innovation? The
contents of this book offer reason to believe that choice policies
can further some educational goals. But they also suggest many
reasons for caution. If choice policies are to be evidence-based, a
re-examination is in order. The information, insights and
recommendations facilitate a more nuanced understanding of school
choice and provide the basis for designing sensible school choice
reforms that can pursue a range of desirable outcomes.
