3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Full Title: Choice, Charters, and Chance: Exploring K-12 Schooling Options Urban districts’ school choice often sparks critical debates in the U.S. education reform arena. In this course, we will explore school choice policies, such as those of charter schools, selective enrollment schools, and vouchers, to highlight trends in student achievement and schooling outcomes. Using a number of sources, such as policy briefs, media outlets, and community narratives for select urban cities, we will investigate ways school choice advances and challenges equitable access to education.
