The Oxford Encyclopedia of School Reform

The Oxford Encyclopedia of School Reform

The Oxford Encyclopedia of School Reform brings together a broad international collection of scholars to provide an analytical overview of the many strands of social science research on school reform. The resulting encyclopedia provides a rich, authoritative view of theory and research practices in this field, and establishes a needed base of fundamental knowledge that will help scholars, researchers, administrators, and policymakers to develop and refine their understanding of the complex task of reforming schools. The Encyclopedia is published in a two-volume print edition, and all articles also appear online as part of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Education.
