An evaluation of the public schools of the District of Columbia : reform in a changing landscape

National Research Council (U.S.) Committee for the Five-Year (2009-2013) Summative Evaluation of the District of Columbia Public Schools. (Author).

Summary: " ... a comprehensive five-year summative evaluation report for Phase Two of an initiative to evaluate the District of Columbia's public schools. Consistent with the recommendations in the 2011 report A Plan for Evaluating the District of Columbia's Public Schools, this new report describes changes in the public schools during the period from 2009 to 2013 ... [and] examines business practices, human resources operations and human capital strategies, academic plans, and student achievement. This report identifies what is working well seven years after legislation was enacted to give control of public schools to the mayor of the District of Columbia and which areas need additional attention."--Publisher's website.
