This volume summarizes a range of scientific perspectives on the
important goal of achieving high educational standards for all
students. Based on a conference held at the request of the U.S.
Department of Education, it addresses three questions: What
progress has been made in advancing the education of minority and
disadvantaged students since the historic Brown v. Board of
Education decision nearly 50 years ago? What does research say
about the reasons of successes and failures? What are some of the
strategies and practices that hold the promise of producing
continued improvements? The volume draws on the conclusions of a
number of important recent NRC reports, including How People Learn,
Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children, Eager to Learn,
and From Neurons to Neighborhoods, among others. It includes an
overview of the conference presentations and discussions, the
perspectives of the two co-moderators, and a set of background
papers on more detailed issues. Table of Contents Front Matter Part
