Abstract: This edited volume, which examines charter school effectiveness to date, is a compilation of papers presented at a September 2006 conference at the National Center on School Choice at Vanderbilt University. It focuses on teaching and learning; governance, finance, and law; and student achievement. It seeks to offer answers to the following questions: What research designs are best for comparing charter and regular public school performance? Do charter schools receive less funding per student than regular public schools? What do we know about the effects of charter and regular public schools on how children learn? A second volume in this series, Handbook of Research on School Choice, is due for publication in 2008.
