Unique Schools Serving Unique Students (Robin Lake, editor) offers
a pioneering look at the role of charter schools in meeting the
needs of special education students. The book addresses choices
made at the intersection of two very important policy arenas in
education: special education and charter schools. Drawing lessons
from parent surveys and case studies, this volume poses and
addresses a number of important questions that have received
limited attention to date: How many students with disabilities
attend charter schools? How do parents choose schools for their
children with special needs and how satisfied are they with their
choices? What innovations are coming out of the charter school
sector that might be models for public education writ large?
Finally, what challenges and opportunities do charter schools bring
to special education? Written for education generalists and policy
leaders, the contributors provide vivid examples of innovative
practices. They also make specific recommendations for the policy
action, technical supports, and further research required to
promote more widespread adoption of the special education practices
we see in effective charter schools.
