TCEP Policy Brown Bag: Exit Strategies: How Low Performing High Schools Respond to High School Exit Examination Requirements
The Texas Center for Education Policy is happy to invite you to a TCEP Brown Bag featuring Dr. Jennifer Jellison Holme titled:
“Exit Strategies: How Low Performing High Schools Respond to High School
Exit Examination Requirements
Where: Cissy Parker McDaniel Dean's Conference Room, Sanchez Building
Date: November 2, 2011
Time: 12-1:30PM
Dr. Holme’s research focuses on the politics and implementation of educational policy, with a particular focus on the relationship between school reform, equity, and diversity in schools. Dr. Holme is particularly interested in understanding how structures of opportunity within metropolitan areas relate to schooling conditions and outcomes for students, and how educational policies interact with those opportunity structures. Her current work focuses on school desegregation, high stakes testing, and school choice policy.
For those unfamiliar with the College of Education who are coming from off campus, see the following link for a map that identifies both parking (BRG) and the Sanchez Building (SZB):
