Based on a conference held at the request of the U.S. Department of Education, it addresses three questions: What progress has been made in advancing the education of minority and disadvantaged students since the historic Brown v. Board of Education decision nearly 50 years ago? What does research say about the reasons of successes and failures? What are some of the strategies and practices that hold the promise of producing continued improvements? The volume draws on the conclusions of a number of important recent NRC reports, including How People Learn, Preventing Reading Difficulties in Young Children, Eager to Learn, and From Neurons to Neighborhoods, among others. It includes an overview of the conference presentations and discussions, the perspectives of the two co-moderators, and a set of background papers on more detailed issues. 606 $aMinorities$xEducation$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aEducational equalization$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aMinorities$xEducation 615 0$aEducational equalization 676 $a379.2/6/0973 701 $aReady$b Timothy$01812197 701 $aEdley$b Christopher F.$f1953-$0233277 701 $aSnow$b Catherine E$01807769 712 12$aMillennium Conference: Achieving High Educational Standards for All$f(2000 :$eWashington, D.C.) 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910973744603321 996 $aAchieving high educational standards for all$94481553 997 $aUNINA
