Sponsored by the Association for Education Finance and Policy
(AEFP), the second edition of this groundbreaking handbook
assembles in one place the existing research-based knowledge in
education finance and policy, with particular attention to
elementary and secondary education. Chapters from the first edition
have been fully updated and revised to reflect current
developments, new policies, and recent research. With new chapters
on teacher evaluation, alternatives to traditional public
schooling, and cost-benefit analysis, this volume provides a
readily available current resource for anyone involved in education
finance and policy. The Handbook of Research in Education Finance
and Policy traces the evolution of the field from its initial focus
on school inputs and revenue sources used to finance these inputs,
to a focus on educational outcomes and the larger policies used to
achieve them. Chapters show how decision making in school finance
inevitably interacts with decisions about governance,
accountability, equity, privatization, and other areas of education
policy. Because a full understanding of important contemporary
issues requires inputs from a variety of perspectives, the Handbook
draws on contributors from a number of disciplines. Although many
of the chapters cover complex, state-of-the-art empirical research,
the authors explain key concepts in language that non-specialists
can understand. This comprehensive, balanced, and accessible
resource provides a wealth of factual information, data, and wisdom
to help educators improve the quality of education in the United
States.
