RESEARCH IN PROGRESS: Research on the short- and long-term effects of school desegregation and resegregation. One part of the study examines effects of high school composition on education and work outcomes using national surveys from students who attended high school in 1978-82 and 1988-92, with follow-up surveys 8-10 years later. A second part examines achievement trends in Nashville, TN, from 1996-2000, before and after the district was released from mandatory desegregation. Study of the effects of teacher development for sustained, inquiry-based instruction in elementary science on student achievement. The study is a randomized trial involving 40 treatment and 40 control schools in Los Angeles, CA. Doctoral students in UW-Madison’s Interdisciplinary Training Program in Education Sciences are playing prominent roles in the study.

Study of the causal effects of social capital on child development. The research follows the impact of a parent-child after-school program designed to elevate social capital in 26 randomly-selected schools in two communities, compared to 26 randomized control schools.
