Effective Education: A Minority Policy Perspective, Vol. 20 »

CHARLES VERT WILLIE is Professor of Education and Urban Studies in the Graduate School of Education at Harvard University.

Effective Education analyzes the ways in which majority and minority interests interact in the educational system. It outlines the concepts, goals, and policies of effective educational environments, and examines teaching and learning strategies for diversified groups of students. Despite the additional challenges presented by diversified student populations, author Charles Vert Willie demonstrates the advantages which may also derive from these groups, and shows how minority students can make general contributions to educational reform.
