Description Social Capital, Value Consistency, and the Achievement Outcomes of Home Education by Dr. Brian D. Ray — This paper explores whether the constructs of value consistency and social capital might explain the relatively high academic achievement outcomes of home education. Dr. Ray proposes an Educational Resource Niche model that explains why a home educated student whose family may be low in both physical and human capital might still be a very successful learner.
