The Oxford Encyclopedia of School Reform

The Oxford Encyclopedia of School Reform will bring 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 will provide a rich, authoritative view of theory and research practices in this field, and will establish 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. All of the articles appear online as part of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Education.
