| Summary: A new WestEd Policy Perspectives paper by Richard Rothstein, Research Associate at the Economic Policy Institute, was featured in two recent articles about reforming the social and economic institutions that affect children's ability to learn. Reforms That Could Help Narrow the Achievement Gap outlines a series of reforms, in addition to school improvement, that could help narrow the achievement gap between middle and lower income students, and between black and white students.
