Instructors and researchers mostly in education but also in history look at the history of schools and of education reform in the US as a guide to current and future education policy at levels from the national to the district. Among the discussions are black high school students in the metropolitan north 1940-80, growing state intervention in low-performing schools, equity and special education in Boston, standards-based reform, and why historians and policy makers miscommunicate on urban education.
