Last week, I argued that Hitt, McShane, and Wolf erred in including programs in their review of «
school choice» studies that were only incidentally related to
school choice or that have idiosyncratic
designs that would lead one to expect a mismatch between test score gains and long - term impacts (early college high
schools, selective enrollment high
schools, and career and technical education
initiatives).
With U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos at the helm of a federal
initiative to spread private
school choice even further, a new forum for Education Next brings together experts to assess the research on these programs — a tax - credit - funded scholarship in Florida and voucher programs in Indiana, Louisiana, and Ohio — and the implications for whether and how states should
design and oversee statewide
choice programs.
