CHOICE AND MOBILITY
EPIC will study school choice policies in Louisiana, Michigan, Florida, Oregon, Denver, New Orleans, New York City and Washington, D.C.
The Education Policy Innovation Collaborative is part of a national research center on school choice policy. The National Center for Research on Education Access and Choice, or REACH, funded by a $10 million grant from the U.S. Department of Education’s Institute of Education Sciences, will produce cutting-edge research on charter schools, school vouchers and other choice programs. Researchers will focus particularly on how alternatives to traditional public schooling can either promote or hinder opportunity for historically disadvantaged populations of students. Among EPIC’s projects will be new efforts to understand the ways in which teacher quality, school transportation and education governance affect the success of school choice programs.
