• W192117890 abstract "The authors provide background information on the Charter in Action project, take a close look at the innovative ways in which some actual charter schools organize and support themselves, and present five lessons that charter schools offer American education. We have recently concluded a two-year study known as Charter in Action, a project of the Hudson Institute s Educational Excellence Network, supported by the Pew Charitable Trusts. In this article, we summarize the research and fieldwork undertaken for the project and discuss the implications of the charter school movement as we have observed it. Our purpose is to suggest lessons that can be drawn from the country's brief charter experience that are relevant to U.S. public (and private) schools. We begin by providing some background information on the project and by recapping what is different about the charter idea itself. We then discuss the origins of some actual charter schools and present some of the often creative and innovative ways in which these schools organize and support themselves. We conclude with five lessons that charter schools have to offer American education. Background Begun in July 1995, the Charter in Action project had several goals: to illuminate the practical and policy issues surrounding the creation and successful operation of charter schools (including finances, governance, regulations, facilities, enrollment, and personnel); to begin to gauge the educational impact of these schools; and to inform people involved in creating and operating charter schools - both practitioners and policy makers - of strategies devised elsewhere. During the first project year (1995-96), site visits were made to 43 charter schools in seven states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. Detailed information was collected on 35 of these schools, representing a cross section of the approximately 225 charter schools then operating nationwide. More than 700 interviews were conducted with individuals in these schools and communities. During the second year (1996-97), site visits were made to 45 charter schools in 13 states; 17 schools were visited for the second time. Moreover, 18 schools that had been visited in 1995-96 participated in follow-up telephone interviews. The research team obtained direct information from a total of 50 charter schools in 10 states, a reasonable cross section of the nearly 500 charter schools then operating nationwide. (The three states with operating charter schools that were added in the project's second year are Florida, Texas, and the District of Columbia. In addition, visits were made to Jersey, North Carolina, and Hawaii to study the implementation of the new charter laws in those states.) More than 600 interviews were conducted in the second year, bringing the two-year total to well over 1,300. During the second project year, parents, students, and teachers were surveyed in charter schools that agreed to participate (provided the response rates met the project's minimum participation levels). The project team developed three questionnaires in consultation with charter school experts nationwide and with the Information Technology Services unit of the Brookings Institution, which also provided data processing and analysis. The results were tabulated from 4,954 students (fifth grade and older) attending 39 schools; from 2,978 parents of students attending 30 schools; and from 521 teachers in 36 schools. Creating the American Public School Whatever else the movement to develop New American Schools has accomplished since its beginning in 1991, it has certainly spurred the imagination of individuals and organizations that have made these schools genuine centers of innovation. Policy makers, professionals, taxpayers, parents, and others committed to revitalizing public education should welcome charter schools as a giant step toward the reinvention of public education in America. …" @default.
