K-12 Education
We are committed to generating and synthesizing research on key civil rights and equal opportunity policies that have been neglected or overlooked.
Well before the passing of the "Leave No Child Behind" Act of 2002, which renewed the nation's interest in K-12 education, The Civil Rights Project had been focused on critical issues affecting this country's elementary and secondary students. CRP believes that equal educational opportunity is a necessary prerequisite to equal educational outcomes. Further, CRP believes that all students benefit from ethnically diverse educational experiences. For the past several years, a main focus of our research has been to demonstrate concrete educational benefits derived from attending diverse elementary and secondary schools. Research in the area of K-12 Education has been extensive with the hopes of having a broad impact nation-wide.
Our current research interests related to K-12 education include:
-
The effectiveness of Title I reforms
-
Dropout trends and remedies
-
The impacts and benefits of racial and ethnic diversity in education
-
The racial disparities in policies and practices related to special education and school discipline
-
Resegregation trends and remedies in our nation's public schools
-
Effective educational policies for language minority students (English Language Learners)
-
Binational research and initiatives to support "students we share" with Mexico (and other Spanish-speaking nations south of the U.S. Mexico border)
