Reducing the Educational Gap: Good Results in Vulnerable Groups
研究了一组服务社会弱势儿童的学校，发现其教学和管理方法带来了统计显著且经济上重要的学业表现差异，部分可归因于简单管理实践，但大部分与成功学校的独特做法相关。
Abstract We analyse the educational performance of a group of schools that serve socially vulnerable children and that have implemented distinguishable teaching and management methods. Conditioned to students, school characteristics, selection criteria and resources, robust performance measures show statistically significant economically relevant differences in favour of these schools. Whilst only a small part of this difference can be explained with simple management practices that we isolate statistically, there remain an important residual we can associate with distinctive practices identified in the qualitative literature as present in successful schools.
