Diversity and reform

Abstract

A vision of school reform is to achieve a high-quality education for every child. However, there is a growing recognition today that a variety of factors including the current demographic changes in schools play a role and influence the notion that the process of education involves every segment of society and requires educators, parents and the greater community to come together in new roles and partnerships. This chapter discusses some of the ways diversity issues influence modern school reform efforts.
