Because the organization of the classroom and the school provide the framework for teaching and learning, this important volume reviews research that focuses on specific issues including: achievement effects of alternative school and classroom organizational practices, ability grouping, departmentalization, special and remedial programs, evaluation processes, and class size. The studies utilize realistic evaluations rather than laboratory or experimental data, and do not prescribe particular practices.
This volume presents the most recent research on Title I federal
compensatory education programs. Over the past three decades, Title
I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act has served as the
cornerstone of the federal commitment to equality of opportunity.
It is the federal government's single largest investment in
America's schools. As Title I begins a new century, this book
documents the program's history and points to the potential for its
future, building on 35 years of research, development, and
practical experience. The research and analysis it provides fills a
void for systematic information that can help inform Title I
education policies and practices.

Latino (or Hispanic) children are one of the fastest-growing groups
in U.S. schools today. On average, these students perform worse
than Anglo students on measures of academic achievement and other
measures of academic success, and their drop-out rate is high.
There are schools of excellence among those serving Latino
children, but the majority of these children are placed "at risk"
by schools and community institutions unable to build on the
cultural, personal, and linguistic strengths these children are
likely to bring with them to school. Schools serving Latino
students need programs based on high-quality research, capable of
being replicated and adapted to local circumstances and needs.

This work is a collection of previously published articles by Robert Slavin. The articles trace the evolution, over a quarter-century, of the powerful idea that given well-developed, rigorously evaluated methods and materials, teachers can succeed with virtually all children.
Featuring today's most respected leaders in the field of reading interventions, this book examines what we have learned from the research to help struggling readers in grades K - 6. Focusing on strategies that have been proven effective, the authors will help educators meet the demands placed on them to ensure that all students are making good progress toward becoming competent readers. Each chapter begins with a set of framing questions and ends with suggestions for action to foster discussion and help teachers translate research-based ideas into practice - perfect for teacher education courses and professional development workshops.This timely volume includes: an analysis of what is needed to help all students succeed in reading, especially struggling readers, students with special needs, and ELL students; practices to foster young students' success in learning to decode; instructional strategies to improve students' vocabulary and comprehension; and, school-wide practices to improve all students' reading in high-poverty, diverse schools.
