“…Advocates argue that charter schools provide innovative educational programs, raise student achievement, offer alternatives to parents, and foster positive competition for traditional public schools (King, 2004;Yancey, 2004). Opponents charge that charter schools have diluted resources that the school districts are entitled to and have promoted racial enclaves within districts (Finn, Manno, & Vanourek, 2000;Lubienski, 2003Lubienski, & 2005. To date, there is still no consistent evidence that charter schools are performing significantly better than traditional public schools (Johnson, 2011;Zimmer, Blanc, Gill, & Christman, 2008).…”

This critical ethnographic case study describes and interprets how an urban K-8 charter school in the United States with a large number of students of color from low-income communities offers education that recognizes students' minority status in the broader society and envisions students as agents working toward a just society. The analyses show that the school's progressive teaching of diversity has a positive impact on minority students' identification with their heritages and their academic achievements. This study advances a critical understanding of creating equitable education at the school level. Challenging Mainstream Discourse on Diversity Role Research Question, Context, Method, and Theoretical Framework Innovative Teaching and Learning at PCCS Understanding Academic Success at PCCS Conclusion ReferencesEducational research with a critical lens on schooling has revealed that schools often value and inculcate the cultural and communicative practices of the socially and economically powerful elites, thereby disadvantaging minority students who are not socialized into such practices by their families

“…School choice has been introduced as an education policy instrument for reshaping public education into consumer-oriented education in this region. This policy issue is based on the assumption, that competition among schools, which is caused by parents' choice, may be a fundamental factor improving the quality of education (Lubienski 2005). For supporting effective public school choice for both students and parents, many types of policy instruments, including Magnet school, Charter school, and Voucher program, have been initiated from the state or local government.…”

Globalization increasingly calls for comparing educational policies across countries. In this study, we assemble and analyze academic journal publications of the past decade in order to shape education policy research within an Asia-Pacific context. After examining AsiaPacific research publication data from the Web of Science, we find a few stylized facts: (1) increasing research collaboration, (2) growing policy evaluation research, (3) swelling empirical research with quantitative methodology and (4) growing attention to higher education. Moreover, education stakeholders show exclusive interest on globalization, private tutoring, and language education policies within and across countries. Finally, we find a significant difference in research impact and diffusion between AsiaPacific and American education policy studies. Further, we examine what determines research impact and diffusion. Our results indicate that research collaboration, national context, publication year and issue, policy area, and research methodology are significantly associated with publication citations. Based on the findings, we suggest useful implications for future directions on education policy research in an Asia-Pacific context.

“…The finding is an explicit recognition of some limitations of the school-choice policy. Current school-choice policy also encourages parents to leave their neighborhood schools for high performing schools, a practice many resist for various reasons, included convenience, familiarity and the community (Schneider et al 2000;Bulkley and Fisler 2003;Lubienski 2005).…”

“…Market driven school reform that is focused on choice and competition was first introduced in the 1950s and 60s by Milton Friedman as a potential way to restructure the education system (Lubienski 2005;Moe 2008;Ravitch 2010;Loeb et al 2011). He argued it would empower people to make choices by increasing competition in the educational marketplace.…”

“…He argued it would empower people to make choices by increasing competition in the educational marketplace. He believed voluntary and individual choices would improve both the demand and supply side of education with parents making the best schooling choices for their children (Lubienski 2005;Ravitch 2013;Loeb et al 2011). Today, there is some form of school choice policy in nearly all states (Hoxby 2003;Lander and Lips 2008).…”
