Graue, Elizabeth; Hatch, Kelly; Rao, Kalpana; Oen, Denise – American Educational Research Journal, 2007
In this study, the authors explore the implementation of a statewide class-size reduction program in nine high-poverty schools.

Maldonado, David Emiliano Zapata; Rhoads, Robert; Buenavista, Tracy Lachica – American Educational Research Journal, 2005
Despite the many studies of student departure, colleges and universities continue to face difficulties in retaining underrepresented student populations.
