(WOMAN AUTHOR) 1958 New York City Investigation Of The Scholastic Functioning Of 4875 High Ability Secondary

Irene H. IMPELLIZZERI. .An Investigation of the Scholastic functioning of 4875 High Ability. Secondary School Students in New York City. First separate edition. 36 pages, original printed paper covers. Written in collaboration with Donald BARR and Thomas E. Cooney. Two copies present. Often referenced, seldom seen, this early work by the inimitable Dr. Irene Impellizzeri, a second generation Italian-American, showcases what turned out to be a lifetime commitment to understanding and improving NYC schools for the underprivileged and underrepresented— published decades before serving on the Board of Education. No stranger to controversy, her conservative views on school condom programs and other topics often made the news, as did her high retirement package —amongst the highest in the NYC school system at the time of her death in 2009.
