“…To better understand the conditions under which schools of choice have (or do not have) positive effects on achievement, many researchers and policy makers advocate looking inside schools, pointing to the importance of detailed information about curriculum, instruction, organizational conditions that promote achievement, and teacher characteristics and qualifications (Berends et al 2008a(Berends et al ,b, 2010Betts & Loveless 2005;Cannata & Engel 2012;Cannata & Peñaloza 2012;Cravens et al 2012;Gill et al 2007;Goff et al 2012;Zimmer & Buddin 2007Zimmer et al 2003). To date, however, these calls to examine the organization of schooling within the charter sector by and large have not been heeded.…”

Charter schools have been on the educational reform landscape for over twenty years. In the last ten years, a number of rigorous studies have examined the effects of these schools on student achievement and educational attainment. Findings reveal mixed results where student achievement is concerned (i.e., some positive, some negative, some neutral) and positive results in terms of educational attainment (i.e., high school graduation and college attendance). The article places this research within a framework that draws on both market and institutional theories, and concludes that additional research on the social organization of charter schools and traditional public schools is needed to better understand the conditions under which school choice is or is not effective.

“…A number of studies have examined the supply-side factors that may drive differences in teachers' characteristics in charter and traditional schools (Cannata & Penaloza, 2012;D. C. Harris, 2006;Renzulli, Parrott, & Beattie, 2011;Stuit & Smith, 2012).…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine school leaders’ preferences and practices in an environment of widespread decentralization, privatization, and school choice. In New Orleans, such reforms have been enacted citywide since Hurricane Katrina, making it an ideal site to examine what happens when policy makers lift restrictions for school leaders—and remove protections for teachers—related to teacher hiring on a large scale. Research Methods/Approach: In this exploratory study, I analyze qualitative data to examine school leaders’ preferences and practices when recruiting teachers in New Orleans. The data for the study come from 94 interviews with principals, district leaders, and charter network leaders. Findings: School leaders had different conceptions of “talent” and “fit,” and used a variety of strategies to recruit teachers. School districts and charter networks both supported and constrained school leaders’ autonomy and recruitment practices by screening applicants or setting guidelines and criteria. Other intermediary organizations also played a role in shaping the teacher labor market. School choice also posed unique challenges for teacher recruitment. Implications: Overall, expansive choice policies in New Orleans appear to foster flexibility and variation in teacher hiring strategies (although not in salary), as expected in a decentralized system. However, these policies and strategies appear also to have other consequences, including greater instability or “churn,” unpredictability, and a bifurcated teaching force.

Resumo: Este artigo discute a gestão privada de escolas públicas da Educação Básica como um dos pilares que sustentam uma agenda privada-mercantil no cenário contemporâneo brasileiro, baseados na crença da maior eficiência e qualidade a fim de garantir a igualdade de oportunidade a todos. O recurso teórico-metodológico foi a análise da atual conjuntura brasileira inserida na crise estrutural do capital, seguida de exame da gestão privada em escolas estadunidenses, conhecidas como escolas charters, e iniciativas nas redes de ensino no Brasil. Concluímos que a gestão privada de escolas públicas pode ser entendida como um recurso para "contrarrestar" as crises cíclicas do capital e que tem aberto novas possibilidades de mercado no âmbito educacional sob a tutela do Estado. Palavras-chave: Estado. Gestão privada. Crise do capital.Abstract: This paper aims to present the private management of public schools of Basic Education as one of the pillars that support a private-market agenda in the Brazilian contemporary field, based on the belief of greater efficiency and quality in order to ensure equal opportunity to all. The theoretical and methodological approach was the analysis of the current Brazilian situation included in the structural crisis of the capital, followed by the examination of private management in American schools, known as charter schools, and initiatives for the education networks in Brazil. We conclude by stating that the private management of public
