This sixty-page report sets forth numerous practical strategies for bettering the education of disadvantaged youngsters, including, for example, "5 steps to a good start," "6 ways to tell if your school is serious about teaching reading and math," "4 ways to make reform stick," etc. The recommendations are pretty obvious, even banal, but they sit atop a trove of valuable research summaries, cases in point, and lots and lots of references. You can obtain hard copies for $5 apiece from Poverty & Race Research Action Council, 3000 Connecticut Avenue NW, #200, Washington, DC 20008.
