About the IDEA Publication Series
The Institute for Democracy, Education, & Access (IDEA) is a network of UCLA scholars and students, professionals in schools and public agencies, advocates, community activists, and urban youth. The institute’s research and action begins with the premise that all students have a fundamental right to a public education that enables them to graduate from high school prepared to become active citizens, eligible for four year universities, and eager for meaningful work. IDEA studies the way policies and conditions in schools, districts, and universities shape the quality of teaching and learning in California’s urban schools. The IDEA Publication Series aims to make public and promote action through the research conducted by IDEA researchers, as well as teachers, students, and parent groups for a diverse audience of scholars, educators, policy makers, and the general public.
