Desegregation also improves
other important educational outcomes for all students — poor, working class, and middle class alike — including, intellectual self - confidence, leadership skills, critical thinking, creativity, problem - solving, and teamwork.
Finally, this research helps demonstrate that schools
produce important educational outcomes other than those captured by math and reading test scores, and that it is possible for researchers to collect measures of those other outcomes.
Especially when considered alongside our previous experiment on field trips to art museums, this research shows that schools can draw upon the cultural institutions in their communities to assist in
producing important educational outcomes.
This leaves school staff to focus on
the important educational outcomes of the trip.
Open - mindedness and respect for all people and perspectives is
an important educational outcome.
