Williams
Watch Series:
The reports in this series reflect the work of researchers who have examined the current conditions in California schools and considered possible alternatives for insuring adequate and equal opportunities for learning for all students. The papers place the specific complaints of the current Williams v. State of California case into a larger context of evidence about California’s current educational conditions. They suggest alternative approaches to state governance and policy that could remedy inadequacies not only in California, but in states around the nation.
