Overview

Bringing together research from a range of fields, Bower comprehensively examines the effects of social and environmental factors on educational achievement, and evaluates whether social policy is able to improve the experiences of children living in urban poverty in ways that will narrow the gap in schools. Going beyond studies of reform efforts largely focused on what happens inside schools, Bower pieces together research and investigates the power of broader social reforms to narrow or close the achievement gap.
