Recognition (awards/honors)

In 2012, Welner was inducted as an American Educational Research Association Fellow.[8] Welner is notable for making technical research documents that are accessible to the general public,[9] and for participating in public academic debates on education reform issues such as standardized testing[10] and school choice.[11] Other awards and recognitions include:

  • Palmer O. Johnson Memorial Award, American Educational Research Association, 2005[14]
  • Spencer Fellows, conferred by National Academy of Education, 2000[15]

Views and research

Welner has studied the public right to education, tracking, school vouchers, school choice, educational equity, and the use of research.[4][16]

Vouchers and School Choice

In 2005, Welner conducted research on school vouchers as a resident of the Rockefeller Foundation Bellagio Center.[4][17] That research was later published as a major work on school vouchers, NeoVouchers: The Emergence of Tuition Tax Credits for Private Schooling. The book provided an early explanation of the legal and policy issues surrounding a then-new type of private school vouchers. These neo-vouchers were created by giving large tax credits for donations to organizations that then packaged those donations as vouchers to fund tuition.[18][19] Welner's work on school choice is employed and reviewed in several publications.[20][21][22]
