"This volume shows how high-quality research too rarely informs debate and how the application of good research can get distorted when viewed through ideological lenses....Recommended for upper-division undergraduates and above." CHOICE
"Very timely...addresses some of the critical issues inherent in federal funding of education. It examines the history of Title I/Chapter 1, home-school and parent programs, different school models (such as pull-out, inclusion, remediation, and comprehensive programs), accountability issues, and evaluation of programs, all in relation to student achievement. Within this framework, the book is powerful and useful." Jonathan Brendefur University of Wisconsin-Madison
"Particularly timely....The review of relevant issues...gives readers unfamiliar with Title I a solid background....For readers who are well acquainted, the book...provides an analysis of critical issues related to Title I programs....I like this book....I will eagerly include it in my professional library." Dianne L. Taylor Louisiana State University
