University of Notre Dame

Education

Description:

It might seem a truism that schools have powerful effects on student achievement. Yet beginning with the landmark Equality of Educaitonal Opportunity study in 1966, social scientists have debated the role that schools play in the produciton of student achievement. Does it matter much, which school a student attends? Why are some schools chronically low performing, and what are the characteristisc of more effective schools? Students should have completed coursework in methods and statistics for social research or equivalent coursework before enrolling in this course.
