Book excerpt: Special education and parental school choice are two of the most controversial issues in K-12 education in the United States. In certain places, especially Milwaukee, Wisconsin, those two sensitive education concerns intersect in ways that prompt regular interest on the part of policy makers, advocates, the media, and the public at large. In this report the authors examine evidence regarding the extent to which the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) serves students with special physical or educational needs. At issue is the difference between students being formally (and legally) identified as "in special education" and students who likely would be so identified if they were in public rather than private schools. Appended are: (1) Directions for Completing the Student Enrollment Verification Form; and (2) WKCE Test Forms Pertaining to Student Disability. (Contains 3 figures, 2 tables and 3 footnotes.)[Additional funding for this project was provided by the Robertson foundation.].

This book was released on 2010 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP) was established in 1990 as the first urban education reform in the U.S. built around the idea of permitting parents to enroll their children in private schools of their choosing at government expense. In its first year of operation, the MPCP or "Choice" program enrolled 341 students in the seven secular private schools participating in the program. This report provides an overview of the MPCP and the author's and his colleagues' plan for evaluating it over the five-year period from 2006-2007 to 2010-2011. The third year of the comprehensive longitudinal evaluation of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program by the School Choice Demonstration Project has produced an interesting set of medium-term findings as well as the conditions for more far-reaching results in the future. The author and his colleagues have established that, two years after being carefully matched on important characteristics, students in their MPCP and MPS (Milwaukee Public School) panels are demonstrating achievement gains in reading and math that are generally equivalent. They have documented the frequency and patterns of school-switching in the city. They have confirmed that both the MPCP and the MPS have recently shed their respective sectors of many low-performing schools. They have displayed a rough and limited snapshot of the average performance of Choice students in certain grades that suggests they tend to perform at levels roughly comparable to similarly income-disadvantaged students in MPS and better than low-income students in urban areas across the U.S. They have found that Milwaukee families tell that their child's commitment to education and study habits are more important harbingers of academic success to them than are test scores. Finally, they have determined that school choice in Milwaukee has neither worsened nor improved the levels of racial segregation in the city's public and private schools.

Book excerpt: This report contains a summary of the findings from the various topical reports that comprise the author's comprehensive longitudinal study. As a summary, it does not include extensive details regarding the study samples and scientific methodologies employed in those topical studies. The research revealed a pattern of school choice results that range from neutral (no significant differences between Choice and Milwaukee Public Schools) to positive (clear benefit to Choice). The major findings from this last set of seven topical reports are that: (1) Participation in MPCP continues to grow even as both MPCP and MPS have succeeded in closing or at least denying public funds to a substantial number of low-performing schools over the past five years (Report #33); (2) Enrolling in a private high school through MPCP increases the likelihood of a student graduating from high school, enrolling in a four-year college, and persisting in college by 4-7 percentage points (Report #30); (3) When similar MPCP and MPS students are matched and tracked over four years, the achievement growth of MPCP students compared to MPS students is higher in reading but similar in math. The MPCP achievement advantage in reading is only conclusive in 2010-11, the year a high-stakes testing policy was added to the MPCP (Report #29); (4) When a snapshot of all MPCP students who took the state accountability test is compared to a snapshot of the performance of MPS students with similar income disadvantages, the MPCP students are performing at higher levels in the upper grades in reading and science but at lower levels in math at all grade levels examined and in reading and science in 4th grade (Report #32); (5) Based on MPCP and MPS administrative data on MPCP students as well as parent surveys, between 7.5 and 14.6 percent of MPCP students have a disability, a rate at least four times higher than previously reported by DPI (Report #35); (6) Visits to 13 MPCP schools revealed that many Choice students come to the schools behind by 1-2 years academically; the MPCP schools use various strategies to try to "catch them up" and prepare them for college and succeed with some but not all of them (Report #34); and (7) When similar independent public charter and MPS students are matched and tracked over four years, the achievement growth of the charter students compared to MPS students is similar in both reading and math, though conversion charters, which used to be private schools, clearly deliver higher achievement growth than MPS (Report #31).

This book was released on 2009 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scholars, advocates of various positions, and policymakers have fiercely debated whether the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP), also known as the voucher or "Choice" program, has been a godsend or a scourge for the city's children. Wisconsin policymakers, concerned about that question, identified the School Choice Demonstration Project (SCDP) as the organization to help provide the answers. The SCDP is a national research organization, based in the University of Arkansas's Department of Education Reform, dedicated to the comprehensive, objective, and nonpartisan evaluation of school choice programs. The authors are drawn together for this project by the opportunity to examine what effects the mature MPCP is having on the students, parents, taxpayers, schools, and communities of the city and state. This study, as a component of the larger mix-methods School Choice Demonstration Project evaluation, is a rare effort to describe, as well as to compare and contrast, the lessons learned from families who have pursued different school options, among them traditional public, public charter and private schools that accept publicly funded vouchers. In the first year of the study, which was launched in the spring of 2008, the authors attempted to establish a relationship and build trust with the families, as well as gain a baseline understanding of their experiences within two of three major school sectors in Milwaukee. This first year report reflects the responses of families with children attending MPS and MPCP schools. A second round of focus groups with participating families is scheduled for the spring of the 2008-09 academic year, and a third and final meeting during the spring of 2010-11. Subsequent reports will be expanded to include the experiences of families with children attending public charter schools. Research Methodology is appended.

Book excerpt: In 2006 Wisconsin policymakers identified the School Choice Demonstration Project (SCDP) as the organization to help answer lingering questions about the effects of the MPCP [Milwaukee Parental Choice Program]. The SCDP is a national research organization, based in the University of Arkansas' Department of Education Reform, dedicated to the comprehensive, objective and nonpartisan evaluation of school choice programs. Thus far our research has generated a pattern of school choice results that range from neutral (no significant difference) to strongly positive. Although we have examined virtually every possible way that school choice could systematically affect people, schools, and neighborhoods in Milwaukee, we have found no evidence of any harmful effects of choice. Our major findings to date are: (1) The MPCP remains popular among Milwaukee families, as evidenced by consistent and at times dramatic growth in MPCP enrollments over the past 12 years. (2) The Choice program saves the government money--nearly $52 million in fiscal year 2011--although not all types of Wisconsin taxpayers benefit from the savings. (3) Both the MPCP and the MPS [Milwaukee Public School] have succeeded in denying public funds to, or closing, a substantial number of low-performing schools over the past four years. (4) Attending a private high school through the MPCP increases the likelihood of a student graduating from high school and enrolling in college. (5) Students in the MPCP appear to be performing at lower levels than MPS students in the younger grades but somewhat higher levels than MPS students in the older grades. When similar MPCP students are tracked carefully over time, however, their rates of achievement growth are statistically similar after three years. (6) MPS students themselves are performing at somewhat higher levels as a result of competitive pressure from the school voucher program. (7) The MPCP has had no discernible effect on the racial segregation of schools or housing costs across neighborhoods. (8) Independent public charter schools are generating significantly higher rates of achievement growth for their students compared to similar students in MPS.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines evidence on the "systemic effects" of expanding school choice in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Milwaukee is home to one of the nation's largest and longest-running school choice programs. If there are systemic effects from expanding school choice we should be able to see them in Milwaukee. This paper also introduces a novel method for analyzing systemic effects. Taking full advantage of student-level data, we develop a new measure of those effects based on the extent of voucher options that each student has each year. The idea behind this measure is that school systems face greater competitive pressure to serve students well when students have more options to leave. This type of measure might be useful for future analyses of systemic effects. Using this new approach, we find that students fare better academically when they have more options from Milwaukee's voucher program. The effects are modest in magnitude, but they are robust to multiple specifications of the model. (Contains 8 tables and 6 footnotes.)

Book excerpt: This review is of "The Comprehensive Longitudinal Evaluation of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program: Summary of Fourth Year Reports," published by the School Choice Demonstration Project, University of Arkansas. The report makes eight claims about the effectiveness of the program, most of them positive. On the key issue of achievement of students receiving vouchers, however, the report merely concludes that the program is not harmful. As the report's title suggests, the evidence for all its claims is almost exclusively the researchers' own work, with no reference to other academic literature. Importantly, none of their own referenced documents were peer-reviewed. Even as some of the report's claims are in accord with the broader literature, their appearance in isolation makes for an overly simple evaluation of the MPCP. (Contains 19 notes.) [This report reviews "The Comprehensive Longitudinal Evaluation of the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program: Summary of Fourth Year Reports. SCDP Milwaukee Evaluation. Report #28" (ED518706).].

Book excerpt: "This report provides descriptive data regarding the test scores of Milwaukee Parental Choice Program students in grades 4, 8 and 10 in reading, math and science, as reported to the School Choice Demonstration Project 2006-2007. The tables, graphs, and histograms presented in this report provide a snapshot of these students' percentile scores or scale scores relative to overall national norms or MPS students. They do not and cannot tell us if MPCP schools are performing better, worse, or the same as MPS schools. Any reliable determination of the effectiveness of a school choice program like the MPCP can only come from a rigorous longitudinal study that follows a representative group of choice students over time and compares their achievement gains to those of a comparable set of public school students. For such an evaluation, we refer readers to the MPCP Longitudinal Educational Growth Study (LEGS) also being conducted by the SCDP." -- p. 2-3.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This latest volume in the World Yearbook of Education series examines the relationship between assessment systems and efforts to advance equity in education at a time of growing inequalities. It focuses on the political motives behind the expansion of an assessment industry, the associated expansion of an SEN industry and a growth in consequential accountability systems. Split into three key sections, the first part is concerned with the assessment industry, and considers the purpose and function of assessment in policy and politics and the political context in which particular assessment practices have emerged. Part II of the book, on assessing deviance, explores those assessment and identification practices that seek to classify different categories of learners, including children with Limited English Proficiency, with special needs and disabilities and with behavioural problems. The final part of the book considers the consequences of assessment and the possibility of fairer and more equitable alternatives, examining the production of inequalities within assessment in relation to race, class, gender and disability. Discussing in detail the complex historical intersections of assessment and educational equity with particular attention to the implications for marginalised populations of students and their families, this volume seeks to provide reframings and reconceptualisations of assessment and identification by offering new insights into economic and cultural trends influencing them. Co-edited by two internationally renowned scholars, Julie Allan and Alfredo J. Artiles, World Yearbook of Education 2017 will be a valuable resource for researchers, graduates and policy makers who are interested in the economic trends of global education assessment.

Book excerpt: In this report the authors continue the examination of high school graduation and post-secondary enrollment in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP). They consider students enrolled in the MPCP in either 8th or 9th grade in 2006, and a comparison sample of students enrolled in the Milwaukee Public Schools. They find that, as of September 2011: (1) Students enrolled in MPCP in 2006 in either 8th or 9th grade compared to students enrolled in MPS at the same time: (a) Were somewhat more likely to have graduated high school; (b) Were less likely to enroll in a two-year or technical post-secondary institution; (c) Were more likely to enroll in a four-year post-secondary institution; and (d) Dropped out of high school for similar reasons, most notably a poor academic experience; (2) MPCP students who were in 9th grade in 2006 were more likely to both graduate and persist with two years of enrollment in a four-year post-secondary institution; (3) MPCP and MPS students who did enroll in a post-secondary institution were most likely to attend one of three colleges: University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and Alverno College; and (4) Among MPCP and MPS students who attended other post-secondary institutions: (a) MPCP students were more likely to enroll in a religious or otherwise private four-year institution; (b) MPCP students attended institutions with slightly higher average tuition levels; (c) MPCP students attended institutions with slightly lower SAT and ACT scores; and (d) MPCP students attended institutions with statistically similar rates of applicant acceptance. Four tables are appended. (Contains 13 tables and 8 footnotes.)[Additional funding provided by the Robertson foundation.].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The School Site Visits study is part of the fifth series of annual reports produced by the School Choice Demonstration Project (SCDP). It describes some of the major challenges experienced and common practices demonstrated by thirteen (13) K-12 schools participating in the Milwaukee Parental Choice Program (MPCP). During the 2010-11 school year, there were 107 religious and secular schools participating in the MPCP. This report is based on visits to six of the high schools and seven K-8 schools that collectively reflect the wide range of characteristics associated with participating schools. This includes whether schools scored above or below average on the 2010-11 Wisconsin Knowledge and Concepts Examinations in math and reading. Teams of researchers from the SCDP conducted one-day visits to each school during the spring and fall of 2011. Using a variety of interview, survey and observation instruments, the research teams gathered information about school practices in six general areas: (1) school culture, (2) student academic success, (3) effective leadership, (4) teacher quality, (5) religious integration and accommodation, and (6) school facilities. The authors use the data collected during the visits to describe the most common challenges the schools face and the common practices and strategies they use to overcome these challenges. Overall, a number of general lessons were learned. A sample of high school interview instrument is appended. (Contains 15 tables, 3 figures and 46 footnotes.).

Book excerpt: The study reviewed in this report examined the effectiveness of the "Milwaukee Parental Choice Program" ("MPCP"), which provides vouchers for low-income students to attend private schools. The study analyzed data on about 600 students who were given "MPCP" vouchers in the 2006-07 school year. The authors created a comparison group of similar size by matching the "MPCP" students to students who attended Milwaukee Public Schools. The study estimated the effect of the voucher program by comparing "MPCP" students' standardized test scores in 2010--four years after they were given a voucher--with those of comparison group students. The study found that the reading test scores of "MPCP" students in 2010 were 0.15 standard deviations higher than they were for the matched comparison sample, a statistically significant difference. There was no significant difference in math test scores in 2010. The research described in this report meets What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) evidence standards with reservations.
