Christopher Jencks  

Definition

  • Christopher Jencks has shaped in significant ways the policy debate about the impact of schools on student achievement. His prominence was especially evidenced in the 1970s, but it continues to be manifested in the way in which educators and policymakers think about the relationship of schools to culture.
