HANDBOOK OF RESEARCH IN EDUCATION FINANCE AND POLICY, 2ND EDITION

Sponsored by the association for education finance and policy (aefp), the second edition of this ground-breaking handbook assembles in one place the existing research-based knowledge in education finance and policy, with particular attention to elementary and secondary Education. Chapters from the first edition have been fully updated and revised to reflect current developments, new policies, and recent research. With new chapters on teacher evaluation, alternatives to traditional public schooling, and Cost-Benefit analysis, this volume provides a readily available current resource for anyone involved in education finance and policy. The Handbook of research in education finance and policy traces the evolution of the field from its initial focus on school inputs and revenue sources used to finance these inputs, to a focus on educational outcomes and the larger policies used to achieve them.
