Heat and Light in the Charter School Movement.
Nathan, Joe
Phi Delta Kappan, v79 n7 p499-505 Mar 1998
Charter schools are challenged to find appropriate, inexpensive assessment measures, accommodate special-education students, discover effective governance models, organize learning and teaching effectively, and attract diverse students. External challenges include studying effects of multiple sponsorships, weak charter laws, and involvement of for-profit companies; mitigating questionable research; confronting facilities issues; and gaining committed converts.
