Implementing Program Equity: Raising the Stakes for Educational Policy and Practice.
Adams, Jacob E., Jr.
Educational Policy, v8 n4 p518-34 Dec 1994
Suggests some consequences of program equity for educational policy and practice. Stakes go up because program equity demands support for high minimum performance outcomes and coordination of implementation decisions and actions across a fragmented education system. Teacher networks are one way to link top-down and bottom-up change strategies designed to promote goal alignment, capacity building, and direct support for change. (45 references) (MLH)
