Class Divide: Poverty, Segregation, and Teacher Quality
by Teaching Matters
In the second issue of its new multimedia online magazine, Points of Practice, Teaching Matters delves into the problem of inequitably distributed teaching excellence.

Gary Orfield and Erica Frankenberg
In Educational Administration Quarterly (December 2014, Vol. 50(5), 718-734)
School administrators and policy makers live in a complex, changing policy universe in which there are many competing demands and political pressures. Rarely is there much time to think about sensitive issues of long duration that are not part of the immediate demands they face. This article is about such an issue, a question that will deeply influence the future of schools and communities but which is usually ignored—the increasing separation of large sectors of our student bodies into intensely segregated schools with unequal educational opportunity.
