The School-to-Work Opportunity Act of 1994, for example, requires programs funded under the act to include educationally guided work placements as part of the educational strategy. Although there is a growing consensus that employers have much to...

Earning and Learning: How Schools Matter
ISBN: 9780815755296 / Angielski / Miękka / 365 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Education is one of the largest sectors of the U.S. economy--yet scholars, educators, policymakers, and parents do not agree about what the money spent on education really buys.

If schooling increases how much students know and what they know does pay off later, then it is important to ask what schools can do to increase students' learning and earning. The essays in this book report estimates of the...
